Jean-Baptiste Bosson(NEW YORK)  Scientists are beginning to better understand the consequences of melting glaciers on humans, species of all kinds and the ecosystem in which they live. Glaciers are disappearing all over the world due to climate change, and the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world. Under a high-emissions scenario, half of the area covered by glaciers outside the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets could disappear by the end of the century a retreat the size of Nepal and Finland, according to a study published in Nature on Wednesday. If greenhouse gas emissions are not severely reduced, shifting of the glaciers will come "quite fast," prompting a rapid ecological shift as well, Nicolas Lecomte, research chair in Polar and Boreal Ecology and professor of biology at the University of Moncton in New Brunswick, Canada, who peer-reviewed the paper, said. As the glaciers retreat, they could give way to new, "novel" ecosystems with
