OK, but there are a few questions first.
Is this change desirable, or undesirable? What is the correct number of glaciers and are we moving toward that or away from that number? Why?
If we are expecting the world to stay the same and never change (homeostasis), then we expect what has never been before. Planetary history is one of heating-cooling cycles, occurring well before mankind existed.
