Original: Swiss glaciers lose more than 5% of ice after record heatwave

Switzerland's glaciers have lost more than 5% of their ice volume following an exceptional heatwave, according to a Reuters report. The melt is described as record-setting, underlining how quickly Alpine ice is disappearing as heat extremes intensify. Observers are pointing to the finding as another stark indicator of accelerating climate change in Europe's mountains.

Why now: A record single-season glacier melt is a striking new sign of climate change, drawing wide attention.
