Glaciers are still present by with this warm climate they are changing into water at much faster rate.

If the glaciers contain ice and they are not in continuous movement, it doesn't mean that they don't have any effect on the water cycle or our environment. As we know that the white color reflects the light, so the same is the case with ice. Ice is in white color it reflects the sunlight and its plays a role in weather pattern.
