The Tibet glacier is referred to as the globe's Third Pole.  The melt feeds 
the major rivers that provide China with sixty percent of the water consumed in 
the country. Three mighty river systems in India/Pakistan serve six hundred 
million for eight months of the year. That ice mass is fast receeding, and the 
Ganga is now down to  two thirds of it's original width.  I hope I do not live 
to see the day ---    Eric.
