By 2100, the glaciers of Alberta and British Columbia are set to shrink by 75 per cent in area compared to 2005 levels, and by 70 per cent in volume, according to their predictions. But in two out of the three regions that were studied, the decline could be even more dramatic -- over 90 per cent. The loss will hit many sectors,...
