why are glaciers important to people?

.
The main reasons glaciers are so important is that they are a big part of our drinking water source, actually its 69% of the worlds drinking water. Glaciers also keep our waters and atmosphere cool but greenhouse gases are really warming them up. Another thing is that if the glaciers were to all melt away then the water would rise up about 70 meters and many cities would be covered by water. Plus many people like to go climb the glaciers ,as well as go see the glaciers because many find them as a beautiful sight to see.

Glaciers keep our world from getting to hot, are fun to climb on, are 69% of our source of drinking water, and polar bears live on them and relies on them for their homes, and are very pretty to see to many people. glaciers are very much liked and obviously seems to be needed.
