GENEVA, Oct 1 — Two consecutive years of extreme warming in the Alps have obliterated 10 per cent of Swiss glacier volume — the same amount lost in the three decades prior to 1990, a report revealed Thursday.
“The acceleration is dramatic, with as much ice being lost in only two years as was the case between 1960 and 1990,” it said. “We have seen such strong climate changes in the last years that it’s really possible to imagine this country without any glaciers,” Huss said.He stressed the need to “stabilise the climate by bringing the CO2 emissions to zero as soon as possible”.
This year’s melt impacted glaciers across Switzerland, with those in the south and the east of the country particularly hard-hit.
