Tropical high elevation glaciers go first

PhD Mark Bowen, in his book, 'On thin Ice' mentioned that this is where we'd see climate change really begin.
In 1979, Elecroperu Electric Company hydro dam monitoring was recording glacial retreat, impacting ten of their twelve dams.
In 2009, Bolivia's Chacaltaya Glacier was 'gone.'
12-million people's drinking water was impacted.
All mountain villages had to be abandoned.
18-thousand years of ice was lost in 26-years.
All tropical high-elevation glaciers are in retreat.
