Lol, wut. You do know that most people do not get their drinking water from glaciers, right?

Water is fairly cheap, in the modern era. And even if those "cheap" sources of water disappear, all we have to do is look at how current water sparse areas get their water.

Perhaps water prices might double in the next 100 years, but that really isn't a big deal because our economy is growing much quicker than that.

This is also completely missing the point that human consumption of water is a very small proportion of water use. Major city centers are never going to literally run out of water to drink.

Very worse case scenario, we'll have to reduce the amount of meat that we consume a bit, as meat prices go up due to the water price increase. (most water is consumed by farming applications).

Hundreds of millions of people rely on Himalayan glacier melt for their water. These nations also happen to be the least-able to diplomatically handle international river resource disputes.
