While the loses its everlasting snow forever – 
-70% by 2100, and more later, see State of the 2022 chapter 3: iccinet.org/statecryo2022/
– so while that ice goes, the earth crust in the Himalaya's rebounds = uplifts.
Any bets on whether that rebound is balanced by sinking of the Indian subcontinent?
It'd speed up nicely there – and is going to cause some cool , too, I suppose.

Since the ice sheet vanished in the Holocene, that land mass is in uplift . But the landmass in Northern Germany balances that uplift like a seesaw by sinking. Which spells faster sea level rise from there as @DrEvanGowan explains here: fediscience.org/@DrEvanGowan/1

I assume, we'll soon see the same in the Himalaya region. Except there are billions of people and fertile lands all around
affected by
* sea level rise due to the seesaw,
* lack of melt water and the resulting drought,
* rapidly changing weather patterns due to heated rock surfaces replacing cold snow

and by quakes.
