Switzerland's glacial rivers shed 5.5% mass this year
Glaciers in Switzerland have shrunk by 5.5% this year, marking the second-largest annual decline on record, due to heatwaves and low snowfall, with experts warning that the melting is ongoing. They pointed out that the size of the glaciers has decreased by about one-fifth over the past five years, and this decline is largely attributed to climate change caused by human activities, especially the continued use of fossil fuels. There are concerns that if current conditions persist, the glaciers in the Alps could disappear in the long term.
