Morteratsch glacier retreat sparks reflection on climate change
Original: I don't know how much CO₂ was in the atmosphere when I was born, but the glacier reached this point here. Morteratsch, #
A personal reflection on the Morteratsch glacier in Graubünden, Switzerland, is drawing attention: the poster notes the glacier once reached a point it no longer does, marking visible retreat within a single lifetime. The observation uses the glacier's known decline as a tangible measure of global warming, with commenters echoing concerns about melting Alpine ice and rising CO₂ levels.
Why now: Visible glacier retreat in Switzerland is a striking, personal illustration of climate change that resonates widely.
