See How Climate Change Is Transforming The Landscapes Of Our Planet

Still advancing in 1978, by 2011 the Qori Kalis had retreated back to land - revealing a large lake.

The glacier has lost 80% of its surface area since 1883 - 10% of that in the last four years.

This is the same stretch of beach, and a century later the Muir Glacier is barely visible in the distance.

From a different vantage point, further upstream on the opposite bank, Muir's retreat is more apparent.

The shrinkage of Iceland's fourth largest ice cap shows what can happen in a generation.

Ecuador's capital, Quito, relies on Cotopaxi's diminishing meltwater for fresh water and hydroelectric power.

Coral bleaching is caused by ocean warming - corals can't cope with today’s prolonged peaks in temperature.

Extremely heavy rainfall in 2013 caused the Mississippi to flood, at points to 10 or 20 feet above flood level

California's worst drought in decades is partly the result of low rainfall and less Sierra Nevada snowpack.

Persistent drought has shrunk Lake Chad (once the world's sixth-largest lake) to a twentieth of its size.

The major break in the glacier will eventually calve a giant iceberg expected to cover about 350 square miles.

The edge of the world's largest ice shelf broke off in 1986 and split into three huge icebergs.
