So if half the glaciers which feed the seven great rivers of Asia are gone in 2030, who is to say which half of Asia's billions will be receiving half the water they once received or none? The trickle some might get in 2050 is irrelevant. Shortages are already apparent on the subcontinent. Asia is already facing an rolling disaster as the source is not replenished and each year experiences less flow from less ice until it's gone. The IPCC suffers from consensus building watering down its analysis which has put it behind the curve.
