Are you saying a headline can't be misleading if it is from the Guardian?

It is misleading because the article itself says "The scientists are careful to point out that lower-altitude glaciers in the Asian mountain ranges". The headline does not match that statement.

Critical thinking is a must in a world where corporate (i.e, anti-people) interests control 99% of the media.
