Somewhere, some right-wing nut is going to take these pictures and say they were faked by “some entity”. Then it will be shared a million times to support their view that they are being lied to and climate change is a hoax.
Thing is, they already have their explanation: Alpine glacial recession was caused by mountain warfare in WW1, beacuse they blew literal hole in there. That destabilised it.
Not sure what everyone is talking about, the after picture clearly shows more glacier!
Indeed. They also reversed aging.
Don’t think so, they aged so well!
I went to Iceland last year, and our guide told us that the glacier we were about to hike was half a km (1600 feet) closer to the trail head 10 years ago.
Same story in norway. Just in my kids lifetime the glacier have recesses over five hundred meters. https://glacier.nve.no/Glacier/viewer/CI/en/nve/ClimateIndicatorInfo/2297?name=Nigardsbreen
