Glacier Melting and Climate Change
In the 2020s, glacier melting in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has accelerated due to climate change. Particularly, glaciers in the Kunlun Mountains are melting at a rate of about 7% annually, severely affecting the Yellow River's water source. Agricultural and industrial areas in the Yellow River basin rely on this water source, leading to frequent droughts and water shortages. In cities like Lanzhou and Zhengzhou, unstable water supplies have become a significant issue. Additionally, the melting glaciers increase the risk of releasing methane and carbon dioxide, exacerbating climate change. In response, State Grid Corporation is promoting the adoption of renewable energy, but long-term measures are needed to restore the glaciers.
