In the northern Andes these glaciers are quite small and the overall water supply likewise. Many other nations are much more dependent on glacier runoff than Bolivia is. In many areas the natural reservoir of a glacier can only be replaced by a man made reservoir to store the water that would otherwise be held by the glacier and released in the warm, dry season. This is not the case in the Andes, where without the glaciers the precipitation would to a larger extent simply evaporate, yielding no runoff. The threat is there now because unlike the Himalayas they have no large glaciers in the northern Andes that will survive even a warming for quite sometime. I have observed the loss of 10% of the glaciers I monitor in the North Cascades of Washington, but the largest glaciers all remain. Nice Post.

Most people intuitively get that global warming will melt glaciers and the visual proof is obvious. But we need this next step of understanding...

It will help people even if it is only for three months or so. Don't intend to argue with you, just curious. Curious, why are you so oppsed to the gas tax holiday?

It might help communities who are losing their local water supply. The invention also provides for a new way to fight wildfires. Please look at my website safersmallcars.com for details.
