ABC you did not explain why the glaciers are so important to preserve. They basically function as a fresh water storage. Fresh water is saved in them during winter and released during summer. Baisically all major european rivers are originating from the glaciers in the alps.

[@oldineamiller9007]

@@eragon96grasel Absolutely not. When I'm joking I add a smiling icon. You wrote why you find it so important to preserve the glaciers and I gave you an example why this statement is wrong. Even if Europe would be located in a warm climate it would still have all his rivers. The Nile is just one example, but even the biggest river on earth, the Amazon has no glacier at its source.

[@eragon96grasel]

@@oldineamiller9007 Well I don't understand how the Nile having water (of which it has less year be year) changes much about the river in the alps? When the rain in the winter is not stored in the glaciers because it is too warm, then all the water goes to the sea during winter. However Europe has most of its water needs during the summer. Without the glaciers there would too much water during winter and not enough during summer.

[@oldineamiller9007]

@@eragon96grasel The precipitations are still the same. Only during winter it comes in the form of snow. The snow accumulates on the higher regions and there is less water flowing down during winter. But it still doesn't change the fact there is still the same amount of water availible no matter what the temperature is. It's just one out of the long list of non-arguments invented by the climate alarmists.

For the last several million years glaciation lasted around 85k yrs. Interglaciary periods lasted 10-12k yrs. We are 11,700 years into the Holocene, the current interglacial. There are too many forces at play creating these cycles to try and discuss them all, BUT CO2 levels, slowing of Oceanic belt, ongoing and expanding global temp anamoly, greater number of 100+ yr weather events, mass permafrost melt and Methane release.....these are all red flags that glaciation has been triggered.

Keep your bad feelings back for another occasion. They are lying. The year is over at the 31st of December not in summer The plane wrecked there in the sixties, got burried under snow and ice and reappeared now. What will that mean? Wenn it crashed they just got the human remains out and left the wreck there, because they didn't have the eqipment availible to transport the wreck. So the wreck got burried for about 60 years. Conclusion: When the accident happened, there were about the same temperatures and about the same ice mass like this year. The Tsanfleuron-Pass is only at 2850 meters. I'm pretty sure it was several times snow free in the last 2000 years.

Like a glass filled with water and ice, it takes a long time for the water to warm up until the ice melts. The ice age keeps Us cool and the temperature outside is warmer than it appears by a lot. If we stop emissions today the current trend and temperature rise will only accelerate as the CO2 in the atmosphere is reactive in the atmosphere for about 900 years. As the Arctic permafrost thaws and collapses, thin layers interlaced between the ice of the permafrost, a glacier covered with organic material Frozen from millennium as in your deep freezer now sitting in the refrigerator decaying as seen in your own vegetable drawer releasing massive amounts of methane previously frozen hydrates erupting into the atmosphere and the Siberian sea boiling from the seabed. Where have all the lobster gone and can humanities survive without lobster? The newborn Krill of Antarctica's pristine waters all have deformed shells from the CO2 and subsequent acidity of ocean waters, after decades and decades of growing oysters in factory settings off of the coast of Oregon using ocean water now is too acidic to farm oysters without adding pH balancing additive, I forgot which one, a heavy expense added. As with a glass of water sitting in the sun, the water remains cool and refreshing until all of most all of the ice is gone. Once the ice disappears, the water gets hot quickly in response to the heat from the Sun. The ice is melting faster causing the temperatures to go up quicker causing the ice to melt faster until the ice is gone. With research going back to 1899 giving warning, and the emergency declaration the emissions must stop now from NASA in 1958, America is using more than it ever has, the main contributor in history, the world has caught up and surpassed. As Europe has invested, is investing, and has cut emissions Americans have discovered fracking continuing an endless increase of energy consumption. Flaring methane is ugly, venting it invisibly only a Flir camera can see the endless leaks throughout the pipeline system and abandoned wells, with operating gas lines such as those serving the community of Washington DC are leaks everywhere of an anciently old system, it only gets metered at the meter and so the leaks don't cost any real money today for the companies as it were to repair the pipelines and so the leaks continue unabated. If we end all emissions tomorrow the methane the melting and disappearing Arctic will continue to erupt as the current temperature curve tightens towards vertical for the next 500 to 900 years. By then I think there will be no recovery for the planet even as it has gone through Extinction events before because this one's different with nuclear waste dotting the planet. As Central America, the American banana republics, are blown into smithereens by the latest record hurricane, how quickly can America build a wall to keep these rapists and murderers, drug dealers in addicts, oh there might be a good one, out of our country keeping America great for Americans. As we drill and drill and drill. I'm optimistic about the future, with everything I've said. And I'm glad I didn't have children to suffer through it with me, now 63 years old. I remember when I was in second grade and saw the smoke that came out of my mother's 1950 Packard and wondered how nature compensated for that and all the other cars in Denver. I looked into the sky in the backyard wondering how deep was the atmosphere and how big of a slice of the pie I was going to consume out of it. I couldn't comprehend how the trees which creates the air I breathe being able to handle the extra load of all the smoke stacks, smog was a big thing back then before catalytic converters which spew additional CO2 into the atmosphere hiding the problem. Why do we have catalytic converters on cars when the spews so much carbon dioxide is beyond my comprehension. Carbon monoxide is an irritating gas that disappears easily and doesn't cause climate change but doesn't allow for additional automotive sales, potential profits for automakers and oil companies that don't believe cigarettes are addicted, GMO Supreme Court patented life is wrong, immoral, or deadly. Too little too late and turning on the coal fired power plants in Europe. Never mind. How to help the refugees and The starving children as the extinction gathers momentum?

Lots of arguments as to what we should or shouldnt do about it, but thats where we are scientifically. Its something that would happen anyway, but we most likely have triggered it to happen sooner.

@@floorsbychrisable I can related to this. After all we can say the planet earth is absolutely fine ( it has always been ) from lava oceans to blue planet. Any live organisms including humans have had no guarantee of permanent presence on earth. So it is a topic, but historically way more ppl frozen to death than anything else etc..so let's not destroy our prosperity in the name of saving the planet which does not need our help.

We are in real danger. A catastrophe. We must creat some powerful organizations in the world, in all countries espacially Us china india brazil and middle east. We must chang our lifestyle.factoris must not produce gasoline cars.large polluting factiris must be closed.cutting trees must be banned.there must be a world organization to deal with climate change. In schools in universities in medias etc we must speak, about the important climate change and how to reduce green house gases. I think the number one prioritiy of our earth is climate change not economy or war or nucler war.

There is no climate change butchers are human mistakes and sins of human. greenhouse effect can solved by more planting . Planting is the only way to solve greenhouse effect because plant is the only creature which absorb CO2 and make the temperature low

And what about global warming? Europe experienced a 1.5 degC temp rise in the past 30 years, but much worse in the Arctic, where Karl XII Island in the Barents Sea saw a 2.7 degC rise in just the last decade, unless you just look at the August number on the south shore, where the rise was 4 deg C!!!

You do realize that your mouth is a source of CO2 , how gullible do you have to be to believe that your exhaled breath is poison to the environment. Without CO2 all life will end on this planet. CO2 is 04% of our atmosphere.
