Glacier Photos Show Climate Impact Over 15 Years
News summary

Duncan Porter's photographs taken 15 years apart at Switzerland's Rhone Glacier vividly illustrate the alarming impact of climate change. The 2024 image shows a drastically receded glacier compared to its expansive state in 2009, reflecting the rapid melt due to rising global temperatures. This visual evidence has garnered millions of views and significant social media reactions, highlighting widespread concern. Reports indicate Swiss glaciers lost 10% of their volume in just two years, with the Rhone Glacier retreating half a kilometer since 2007. Experts warn that Rhone could shrink by 68% by the century's end due to ongoing climate change. The stark decline underscores the urgent need for climate action as projected by environmental scientists and organizations monitoring glacier health.
