How would glaciers be affected by changes in climate such as global warming and global cooling?

In global warming, the glaciers would melt, then they would flow into the ocean, then they could affect ocean currents, changing the climate, in some areas. And with global cooling, there would be more glaciers, depleting the ocean waters.


Is there any evidence that global warming is responsible for melting the worlds glaciers?

It's logical. If the earth is warming, and scientists (and our own experiences) tell us that it is, then one of the effects of a warming atmosphere is that it warms things in the atmosphere. Glaciers are exposed to the air, the air is warmer, and so the glaciers melt. Therefore, global warming is responsible for melting the world's glaciers.


How will glaciers and icebergs be affected by global warming?

How do glaciers on earth's surface cause global warming?

Glaciers do not cause global warming, in fact, their white and shiny surface (albedo) reflects a lot of the sun's radiation; this prevents some of the warming.When glaciers melt, they reveal dark rocks and soil underneath, which absorb much more of the sun's heat. This is called a positive feedback of global warming.
