And the remaining 10% have now been flooded by the river, which is dammed behind the rock masses.
We've been in the Lötschental many times, it's so devastating and sad.
That just sucks. The downside of living in the mountains. Thankfully the residents were evacuated a week before. Good thing they live in a country that believes in science and facts.
Well, the people of Blatten mostly don't. 60% and more voted against any laws to combat the climate crisis. And this collapse of a glacier is of course a result of global warming.

So the lesson here is that we point a chastising finger at those who lost their homes rather than celebrate the fact that in the end climate change scores and the truth wins out? Now our country is ruled by GCC deniers, that’s the real tragedy.
It's sad. I don't want their faces be eaten by leopards, but I'll still point out a lot of them voted for the having-my-face-eaten-by-leopards party. Maybe others will notice? Also, a lot of people wrote how the Swiss believe in science. Well, parts of us clearly don't.
SCIENTISTS created the COVID-19 virus too. Thanks, but I can take a guarded view on what the 'experts' have to say. Imminent structural collapse is different from the long term wholesale of alarmist ideology.
Show your proof.. because I seriously doubt a global collection of scientists are all going to huddle together to lie wen history has shown us time and time again that viruses can transmit from animal to human with devastating results.
Worobey's is cited in the report- paper is described as "armchair epidemiology" by virologist Dr. Lipkin who has more published work in the field. But yeah, he was one of the few left arguing for a food market origin....you know, next to the infectious disease lab.
Could not agree more. Many people don't even know where they are.
Or, after six hours in-flight they start asking the stewardess when they will finally arrive in Spain only to find out that San Juan, Grenada and Dominica are north of Venezuela.
"The most recent report into the condition of Switzerland's glaciers suggested they could all be gone within a century, if global temperatures could not be kept within a rise of 1.5C above pre-industrial levels."
This is devastating. Stayed in Kippel the next door village as a young kid with the family in 1963. Visited with my own kids in 2015. Valley end glacier much denuded. Such beauty and ancient culture destroyed. This is a major wake up call.
Im feeling special empathy today for the folks who saw yesterday's pictures and thought "oh phew! The house my great grandfather built is okay" only to wake up today to.... nope.
Ein sehenswerter Film, der eindrucksvoll und wissenschaftlich fundiert erklärt, warum Katastrophen wie Gletscherabbrüche kein Zufall sind – sondern direkte Folgen der globalen Erderwärmung. Requiem in Weiß macht sichtbar, was wir oft erst begreifen, wenn es zu spät ist.
In connection with forest dieback and in cooperation with the Club of Rome, we, the newly founded Green Party, wanted to draw attention to the possible consequences, dangers, and threats in this valley as early as 1984, and thus raise awareness. The response then: "Go to Moscow, you communists!"
J'ai liké juste pour signaler que j'ai lu votre commentaire.
Effectivement, c'est vraiment terrible !

Every +0.1°C of global warming leads to ~2% more glacier ice loss. Sticking to the #ParisAgreement (+1.5°C) would preserve over half the ice compared to current policies (+2.7°C). This is the result of a new study based, led by Harry Zekollari & several co-authors from our group.

The Scandinavian governments, Switzerland, etc, need to investigate English thought-screen abuse, 100% continuous for decades. They were showing it off to musicians like Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush in the 70s, Gabriel showed this screen to Natalie Merchant in 1990 - SWISS POLICE - ask them about it!
~ https://www.marconipervasion.com ~ The Scandinavian governments & people should enquire, of the British authorities, what is "remote neural monitoring" & the levels of pollution it's generating worldwide, the English thought-screen abusers are the most selfish swine on this earth. Blatten needn't occur.
"If you use the thought-screen to look at Sue Lawley's mind from a certain angle, the Manhattan-sized iceberg doesn't calve off".......Norwegian scientists complained to the British government in 1982, "A tremendous amount of pollution is emanating from England, you must be doing something unusual."

But sure, America… get rid of NOAA and federal climate experts and scientists and research… that will help

You'd be better to trust the actual scientific investigations by people like Worobey.

This was 2 months before the first covid cases in Wuhan

I continue to be surprised that countless people, with phones in their hand, will tell you they have no idea where place X is.
It takes 10 seconds.
So that’s why I did it this way, the 10 second method

In US we would just shake a fist at the sky and gamble with god.
It's almost like they have a functional government or something.
That seems bad.

Is 90% too conservative? You can't even see that there ever was a village from that picture.
