The Alps set to lose a record number of glaciers in the next decade, study warns #Alps

The Alps set to lose a record number of glaciers in the next decade, study warns
Glaciers are melting worldwide. In some regions, they could even disappear completely. Looking at the number of glaciers disappearing, the Alps could reach their peak loss rate as early as 2033 to 2041. Depending on how sharply the planet warms, this period may mark a time when more glaciers vanish than ever before. Worldwide, the peak glacier loss rate will occur about ten years later and could rise from 2,000 to 4,000 glaciers lost each year.

What can—and cannot—be done to save the world’s glaciers
Glaciers are often treated as scenic features or scientific curiosities. In fact, they are critical infrastructure. Though they cover roughly a tenth of the Earth’s land surface, meltwater from glaciers and seasonal snowpacks supports drinking water, agriculture, industry, and energy production for close to half the global population. That support system is now shrinking, fast. […]

Rund 3 000 #Gletscher weltweit können ihre Bewegung immer mal wieder stark beschleunigen und während solcher #Surges bis zu 60 Meter pro Tag vorrücken.
Ursache ist Wasser, das sich unter dem Eis staut und die Reibung verringert. Diese Prozesse verändern Landschaften und können Flüsse blockier…

Glaciers Can Suddenly And Dangerously Surge Up to 60 Meters a Day
It's difficult to forget standing in front of a glacier that is advancing towards you, towering ice pillars constantly cracking as they inch forward.

Hallo!
Ich habe soeben das #Referendum gegen den Kahlschlag beim #Kriegsmaterialgesetz unterschrieben. Das Parlament will, dass Schweizer #Waffen wieder in

Referendum: Nein zu Waffenexporten an Bürgerkriegsländer!
Die Bestimmungen für den Export von Kriegsmaterial sollen gelockert werden – auch Unrechtsstaaten und Bürgerkriegsländer dürften mit Schweizer Waffen beliefert werden. Dagegen wehren wir uns!

Wow, tonight's #Aurora was also pretty visible in the Alps...

Arctic sees unprecedented heat as climate impacts cascade
The Arctic has experienced its hottest year since records began, a US science agency announced Tuesday, as climate change triggers cascading impacts from melting glaciers and sea ice to greening landscapes and disruptions to global weather.
