What have the glaciers ever done for us?
Very large source of fresh water
With all these glaciers melting I'm hoping one day someone will
find a
frozen Neanderthal - that would almost make it worthwhile.

==============
Oceans warm up as glaciers disappear. As oceans warm up, the air
warms,
and there is more climate change. As there is more climate change
some places
get hotter, dryer, and some get wetter, colder. Too many degrees of
change
in one direction or another leads to deforestation and
desertification.
Too much change leads to areas that were once arable becoming less
arable or
unarable. The end result is they are fewer areas that can grow
food. Less
food for the world's population.
But I presume you actually know all that. Or my drastic
simplification of
it.
