"The planet’s massive ice sheets are melting as temperatures rise. Scientists are finding that melt is having surprising and far-reaching effects."
"Two-thirds of the planet’s fresh water is frozen.
Most people live far from the glaciers and ice caps that hold it. But as the climate gets hotter, the ice is melting.

Rebecca Hersher, Ryan Kellman, and Lauren Sommer report for NPR April 19, 2023.
