Switzerland's glaciers have lost ice at record levels for another consecutive year, according to a report covered by NPR. The continued melting underscores the accelerating impact of climate change in the Alps, where glacier retreat threatens water supplies, hydropower and mountain landscapes. Scientists and environment commentators are highlighting the findings as fresh evidence that warming is outpacing previous projections.
Why now: New annual measurements show Swiss glacier ice loss hitting record levels again, renewing concern about accelerating Alpine melting.
