Swiss scientists hope to save biggest glacier in the Alps even as ice loss accelerates

Jungfraujoch, Switzerland (Reuters) – Swiss scientists said on Friday, although global global warming has been covered less than two degrees Celsius.
Ice rivers disappear all over the world faster than ever, as the past three years have witnessed the largest ice loss in the iceberg, according to a nation’s report on Friday.
The Great ALETSCH ice in the Alpine Mountains, which is 20 km long and weighs 10 billion tons, attracts more than a million people annually they can see its precipitation from the Junfraujoch width platform at an altitude of 3454 meters above sea level.
“It is very likely that almost all the ice rivers will be lost and I sincerely hope that the ice river at this high height may be able to maintain some ice,” said Matthias Haus, the wing director who watches Switzerland (Glamus) at the top of the Yongfarjkhout railway station.
In a scenario without any climate reduction, its three distinct tributaries that merge into a vast river of ice will fade, leaving behind a deep valley, a photography from the Swiss Academy of Science.
But if global warming is less than two degrees, it will remain alive, albeit shorter and much insomnia and “largely reduces the threat to sea level.”
The Swiss Academy of Sciences said in the second scenario.
The research, which was released to coincide with the first world day of ice rivers, was not mentioned by the most vulnerable scenario, but the Swiss ice scientist Andreas Lingbar said it was “perhaps something between them.”
There are more than half of the ice rivers in the Alps in Switzerland, where temperatures rise by about twice the average global average due to climate change. Indeed, its size has decreased by 40 percent since 2000.
