Said a glacier “This warming’s not nice,
“And it comes at a terrible price:
“While the wildfires do kindle,
“My kind and I dwindle
”Soon you will be be fresh out of ice!”
(Switzerland's glaciers have lost a further 4% of their volume this year - the second biggest loss ever - after last year's record melt of 6%.
The statistics come in the annual report of the Swiss Glacier Monitoring Network (Glamos), whose team of researchers have been monitoring 176 of Switzerland's 1,400 glaciers for years. BBC Science report 29.09.23)
