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.

It will be rather interesting to see if we can shake our dependencies on destructive industries while maintaining some semblance of our current quality of life or if we’ll cling to the wheel all the way off of this cliff.
Cling to the wheel until ecological/population collapse… 100%!
I recently hiked up to the Muir Snowfield on Rainier (aka Tahoma) in Washington State; I’d been there in August and September of prior years but this time it was shocking to see how much of the snowfield was just gone; I was looking at bare glacier, complete with crevasses, when in years past that was usually still covered by several meters of snow.
Usually in September the weather will be noticeably cooler, and usually above 10k feet it’s freezing- but on the day of my visit it was t-shirt weather above the cloud deck and the usual quiet was instead the sound of water running under the ice.
This is not a Swiss thing, it’s an everywhere thing
Would you say there appears to be warming on a global scale?
Yes, but humans can’t be the cause /s
Oh thank God. Now I don’t have to feel bad!
I was skiing in Grindelwald last season, and i haven’t been there in about 7 or 8 years and shit is scary to be honest. It looks nothing like it did before and the snowfall was obviously really sad the past few years.
