Abstract


Changes affecting to the glaciation of the Earth, due to increase of the temperature, will produce sharply negative and geoecological consequences. The marine glacial covers could froduce an increase of the sea level; the mountain glaciation will reverse and the glacia river runoff will fall down leading to negative consequences for agriculture.
