A Glacier In The Swiss Alps Is Melting Fast. Locals Are Fighting To Preserve It.

The famous snow-capped peaks of the Alps are a favorite tourist destination, but due to climate change, they may look very different in future. TODAY senior international correspondent Keir Simmons joins the show live from the melting Rhone Glacier in Switzerland to report on what’s being done about it.

Do dude said that melting ice in the Arctic would make sea level rise. True if he's referring to the ice on land, but the ice on North pole is over water. If ice in water melts, it doesn't change the sea level rise.

Converting from the conventional farming to the regenerative agriculture could soak up the CO2 from the atmosphere with probably the minimal impacts on the environment. But government policies or corporate incentives are needed to cover the initial cost incurred at the individual farm.

@@phillipproussier3723 I do believe eventually everything will be replaced by indoor vertical farming due to climate changes, as there will not be fresh water sitting around. And people in the future will also need these technologies in scale to setup colonies on Mars and Moon.

@@phillipproussier3723 You might want to pick up a few basic science classes to understand why the climate changed. Once you have the basic understanding behind Climate Changes, you should be able to realize the tales recorded in Genesis basically telling us the struggling of climate refugees and migrants.

@@Doug923 The problem is you don't understand that those classes that you mentioned are part of your bubble. As I said, you are in a bubble. Don't let anybody burst it as it's too big and too expensive. Have patience, it will burst by itself when the right time comes. 🗨🐑😉

Aside from putting high powered fans in the upper atmosphere to blow cold air down possibly we can make inflatable artificial mountains and spray the top of the mountain with water and have the water freeze on top of the artificial mountains that we make if that's even possible one thing that we definitely need to start addressing is cloud seeding they are supposed to make inflatable artificial mountains so that snow forms on top of the mountains and it makes rivers and lakes cloud seeding and forcing it to rain will increase the global temperature in accelerate melting glaciers

3:54 melting of ice in the Artic will not raise the ocean levels. I assume he meant the Antartics...

Yup, we're still leaving the last ice age, do we want them covering all the valleys too? Glaciers are transient, people attach too much to them.

No wonder we are where we're at. Probably a 'Murican.

Its the RATE of change that is scaring governments and scientist. Earth is heating into another mass extinction just like the Paleocene Eocene thermal maximum.

A glacier in the Alps is melting... meanwhile one is growing inside the crater of Mt. Saint Helens. Chicken Little strikes again.

They need to cover the glacier in tin foil.
