"Glaciers in Europe are experiencing the most severe melting on record
Pascal Egli has run on trails winding through the Alps for nearly two decades, but until this summer, he had never seen the mountains so bare.

Glaciers in Europe are experiencing the most severe melting on record
Extreme heat waves had transformed the mountain landscape. Routes once considered easy were now dangerous. Snow bridges over crevasses collapsed, making certain areas impassable. Rocks had tumbled unexpectedly from glaciers and bare mountainsides, injuring and even killing some in their path.
“By mid-June, it was really, really kind of shocking,” said Egli, who received his PhD in glaciology from the University of Lausanne in Switzerland this summer. “It was getting so hot and things are melting so fast, you couldn’t safely do certain 4,000-meter [13,000-feet] peak routes anymore because some crevasse bridges were a bit unsure.”www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/glaciers-in-europe-are-experiencing-the-most-severe-melting-on-record/ar-AA10NuVT?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=fcb57280c8614d428632d047786e7aaeThis year is really bad around the world...next year will be worse. I predict 2025 will be the year of undeniability, even for Republicans.

"GENEVA (AP) — A new study has found that Switzerland's 1,400 glaciers lost half their total volume since the early 1930s, and researchers say the ice retreat is accelerating at a time of growing concerns about climate change.
ETH Zurich, a respected federal polytechnic university, and the Swiss Federal Institute on Forest, Snow and Landscape Research on Monday announced the findings from a first-ever reconstruction of ice loss in Switzerland in the 20th century, based in part on an analysis of changes to the topography of glaciers since 1931.
The researchers found that ice volumes had shrunk by half over the subsequent 85 years — until 2016. Since then, the glaciers have lost an additional 12%, over just six years.
“Glacier retreat is accelerating. Closely observing this phenomenon and quantifying its historical dimensions is important because it allows us to infer the glaciers’ responses to a changing climate,” said Daniel Farinotti, a co-author of the study, which was published in scientific journal The Cryosphere."www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/study-already-shrunk-by-half-swiss-glaciers-melting-faster/ar-AA10W3Qh?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=666d9c5d88294d868ab03fc2e232b73eIf anyone wants to see a glacier....better go soon or plan a trip to Antarctica.

We royally screwed ourselves this time. Now is the time of preparation for the inevitable. I have taken what steps I can and feel as safe as possible by Moving away from coastal and drought prone areas and going as off grid as I can....not done doing that part yet. Water will soon become a big issue (by 2025) So I'm working on that as well. |

Agreed but only Trump sheeple are foolish enough to think he is perfect. So do you hear voices and talk to yourself? Not cool Eve. |

Speaks was honest enough to admit to being schizophrenic and you appeared to mock him. I hope that wasn't the reason he deleted his account. |

This year is really bad around the world...next year will be worse. I predict 2025 will be the year of undeniability, even for Republicans. I can't believe anyone can still deny it after this year. How bad does it have to get to be undeniable? |

How bad does it have to get to be undeniable? Apparently for the hardcore they need their houses to burn down, the kids to starve, a flood to put the fire out and Iceland to become a tropical resort Island. Maybe Donald Trump lighting on fire at a Rally would help as well. |
