Glaciers in Switzerland have been receding due to the impact of the climate crisis.

After a winter with relatively little snowfall, the Swiss Alps have already experienced two severe summer heatwaves in 2022. In July, authorities advised alpinists against scaling the Matterhorn because of the unusually high temperatures, which reached almost 30C in Zermatt.

No such thing
Being 65 years old and disabled I love the fact that the snow is melting.
Lololol stop. Nobody is buying your bs anymore
Man made climate SCAM.
Nice CGI.
I thinks it's funny they're filmed in different seasons
Its normal. Stop your crying kids..crime paids.. get smart
Ball locks.
We are so f*cked
The Climate Waits for No One
Thirty years ago, a friend of mine got into the green energy business and tried to pull me into it. I asked him what for, it isn’t serious. He said, “You have no idea how much money is being poured into it. Everyone wants in on it, politicians, financiers, businesspeople, the lot.” He was right, of course. Yet, no one wants to promote green energy in order to save the planet, but only to swell up their pockets even more. The declarations, therefore, remain in the assembly hall where they are stated, necessary actions are ignored, and the climate waits for no one: It will keep deteriorating.
This week in Glasgow, Scotland, the 26th UN Climate Change Conference is taking place. Officially, it aims to “bring parties together to accelerate action towards the goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.” In reality, the countries plan to do the exact opposite. This year’s UN Production Gap Report, which tracks the discrepancy between governments’ planned fossil fuel production and actual global production levels, states the following: “Despite increased climate ambitions and net-zero commitments, governments still plan to produce more than double the amount of fossil fuels in 2030 than what would be consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C [2.7°F].”
Energy sources and technologies do change, but not according to what is best for the planet. It changes according to the interests of politicians and money moguls, and it never benefits the planet or the majority of its inhabitants, namely all of us.
Since the climate waits for no one, eventually, it will catch up with us. Earth is a closed system, and in a closed system, there are consequences to exploitation: it hurts the abuser as well as the abused.
I don’t know when or at what cost, but eventually, we will all have to realize that we cannot take beyond what we need. We cannot keep exploiting Earth selfishly and thoughtlessly because it will turn against us.
Earth is like a submarine: there is only so much oxygen on board. If some crew members take more than their quota, the rest will not have enough, they will die, and the submarine will sink along with those who exceeded their quota.
We need constant reminders that we are one system, and we are all dependent on each other. We need to genuinely grasp that selfishness hurts us just as being exploitative hurts others. If we constantly remind ourselves that we are interdependent, we will behave with more consideration, and we will avoid the punitive impact of climate change.
The other option is to keep working as the UN’s Production Gap Report states that we are planning to work, and suffer nature’s unforgiving response. I hope we wise up in time because everyone will pay the price for this mistake.
We have found ancient human settlements under melted ice…
This planet is doomed
Active Global Geoengineering. Consequences. Nice example
Are people giving up their cars seeing as they’re so concerned? No. Are we still continuing to pump Co2 into the atmosphere? Yes. I hate that people complain about something they’re not prepared to do anything about, it’s so pathetic.
Winter on the left
Summer on the right
Nice trick
Bet one was filmed in Summer other in winter 🤣
The Guardian telling us there is a climate crisis is akin to a psychopath telling us they have empathy. 🤦♂️
💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
Europe America is responsible for this, don't blame the world for nothing, you don't judge yourself
This article talks about what happened in the world, not what happened in their own state 🤣😊😊😊😊
Loooool I knew as soon as we get a week of hot weather that this climate change would be pushed
Bs
Comedy. Global Geoengineering for decades.
Research. Consequences?
Either the Guardian made an error in not seeing the importance of specifying the time of year for the comparison, or they willfully left it out to engage conspiracists into argument.

Yeah….. and when the ice is melting they find material of old threes and that means live is horrible! 🤣
mother nature recycling
Perhaps it's our destiny who's to say the world was meant to go on forever?
Thanks for including us in the comparison. Glad we could be a part of climate change awareness and responsibility.
Didn't they say the " experts about 20years ago we would be under water. And look we still here. 🙄🙄🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Looks like the mountians shrank as well
How do you do? Thank You All as Always.
The Earth Is a Resource. It's My Treasure. What About You?
From East Asia.
There's an American company that might be able to help. They're called:
"Arctic Ice Restoration. " They were formally known as "ICE911."
They have a highly reflective silica powder that is composed of tiny hollow spheres. It is also non-toxic to life.
The idea behind this dust is that it can help ice survive the summer till the next winter comes along, so you can give the ice a chance to grow.
Can the melting glaciers help the droughts somehow
