@newscientist: Glaciers in the Alps are on track for record-breaking ice loss A series of heatwaves have hit Europe this season, including the continent’s worst-ever heatwave in June. As a result, more than 9 metres of ice have melted off the surface of the Rhône glacier. Forecasters warn temperatures could remain above average through autumn, and another heatwave is possible. If that happens, glaciers in the Alps will probably experience record ice loss this year. Andreas Bauder and his colleagues were taking measurements on the Rhône glacier as part of ETH Zurich’s long-term monitoring of more than 100 glaciers. Extreme melt years are occurring more frequently in the Alps, unleashing devastating avalanches of ice and rock and threatening to shrink major rivers. Tap the link in our bio to read more.

Instead of focusing in the well being of the planet, humans are more focused on AI, robots, self driving cars, and greed of money. Sad times we are living. One day we are going to regret all this. God have mercy on us.

At the end of the semester, my geography professor begged us to do one thing for him, and it was to visit the national parks, and he specifically said “please visit the glaciers for me because they will be gone in your lifetime” shit had me crying on the last day of school. I fucking hated it.

Genuine question for every person who laughs at posts abt climate change: Why do you make fun of people who advocate in saving the planet or save whatever it is left to be saved? And for some, why do you not believe climate change isn't real?

Politicians and billionaires won't care until the planet is literally uninhabitable, only then will they ask what can be done and even then they'll act like there was no way of knowing. So disappointing.

I don’t think many humans understand the importance our glaciers are, or they simply don’t care. What a shame, and heartbreaking to witness this travesty………
