Lexology - Study finds rainfall could offset glacier melt impact in Asia

A study published in Science projected that diminishing snow melt will impact up to 60 million people, significantly fewer than the hundreds of millions the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) projected would be impacted in a 2007 report. The Science study suggests that decreasing meltwater from glaciers will be offset by increased rainfall in certain river basins. According to the study, the Indus and Brahmaputra basins are highly dependent upon snowmelt and would be severely adversely affected, while the Ganges and Yangtze would only be modestly impacted. The study estimated the Yellow River would actually be able to support a larger population in the future as a result of climate change.
