Dolomites glaciers have reached 'point of no return'

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 27 - Glaciers on the Dolomites have reached a "point of no return", meaning they will continue to melt and shrink even if global warming stops, according to a research published on Thursday by the magazine The Cryosphere.
    "They are not in balance anymore with today's climate", Andrea Securo, a researcher at Venice's Ca' Foscari University and at the Institute of Polar Sciences of the National Research Council told ANSA.
    "Except for particularly snowy years, they have no accumulation areas anymore", said Securo, who led the research.
    "There is no way out, they will disappear in a few decades", he noted. (ANSA).
