"Scientists say that 80 percent of Andean ice caps are likely to melt away in the next 15 years due to climate change. The glacier's demise means less water and a changing way of life for the 30,000 mostly indigenous people who live in the foothills of Cotacachi Mountain. Their story is this week's installment of an ongoing series, 'Early Signs: Reports from a Warming Planet.'"
