Over the past 2 years, 10% of Swiss glaciers have melted.
We the glaciers are gone, we are going to start seeing rivers run dry in the Summer:
Swiss glaciers have lost 10% of their volume in just two years, a report has found.
Scientists have said climate breakdown caused by the burning of fossil fuels is the cause of unusually hot summers and winters with very low snow volume, which have caused the accelerating melts. The volume lost during the hot summers of 2022 and 2023 is the same as that lost between 1960 and 1990.
The analysis by the Swiss Academy of Sciences found 4% of Switzerland’s total glacier volume vanished this year, the second-biggest annual decline on record. The largest decline was in 2022, when there was a 6% drop, the biggest thaw since measurements began.
This is not an isolated incident. It's happening in the Rockies, the Himilayas, etc.
The consequences of their going away are catastrophic.
