1) The source is Silje Pileberg and Silje, Kunda Dixit and scientists at the Asian International Center.
2) The credincials this site has is there are scientists who are studing the glaciers.
3) This site is credibal because scientists are giving the facts but it doesn't state any exact scientist besides Kunda Dixit.
4) This artical explains that the glaciers in the Himalayas are melting, which is causing dangerous floods and also causing water shortages. Research communities in Nepal and Norway are researching the melting of the glaciers. The melting could lead to life threateing shortages in water.
5) I believe this source is true because there are researchers actual at the Himalayas witnessing the glaciers melt and people there are actual having a shortage of water.

4) The artical talks about how two billion people have water shortages in this centuary because the Himalayas glaciers are melting and they are melting because of global warming.
5) I believe this site is true because there are actual statistics and research and people to back up where and how they got there facts about the water shortages.

1) The sources are High Beam Research and scientists.
2) There are really no credintials besides the fact the people giving the facts are scientists.
3) I don't think this is one of the better sites to use. It has good facts and straight forward statistics, but npo specific names.
4) This site says that there are 15,000 glaciers in the Himalayas that are not bringing enough water. This could affect up to 500 million people in surrounding countries. And scientists predict that if glaciers keep melting, that they will be gone in the next 40 years.
5) I don't think i believe this site because 40 years is a short time and theres not enough information on this site adn people to back up that the glaciers will be gone that fast.
