Rhone Glacier Melts, Urges Climate Action

Glaciers in Switzerland are melting because of global warming. The water is dripping from the ice as it melts. Scientists are watching the glaciers to see how much they shrink.

Some scientists are trying to protect the Rhone Glacier. They are using big sheets to cover the ice. The sheets help to slow down the melting of the glacier.

Switzerland has many glaciers which are very important. They provide water and power for the country. Sadly, many small glaciers have already disappeared in the Alps.

Matthias Huss studies the glaciers and checks how much ice melts. He says glaciers show climate change clearly. He also says that glaciers are beautiful and make people feel good.

It is hard to save glaciers, but people can help. People need to reduce CO2 emissions to protect them. Reducing emissions will not help immediately but will help glaciers in the future.
