Glaciers

Glaciers and ice sheets affect and are affected by the Earth's climate change.  They are fresh frozen-fresh water reservoirs that change size when the temperature changes and the amount of snowfall they get.  They are the also the most sensitive indicators of climate change on Earth, growing when the climate cools and shrinking when the climate gets warmer.  But, in the last couple of decades all the glaciers have done is shrink drastically.  One main cause of this is the constant increase in our climate.
