Climate change melts Rhone Glacier, Swiss Alps

A Manmade Intervention to Cover a Dying Glacier In Switzerland.

 

Scenes of global warming thawing Rhone Glacier in Swiss Alps near Gletsch. Covered in insulation cloth (UV-resistant white fleece blankets) to increase albedo it's emblematic of the death of nature, shrouded in a fabric veil for tourists to visit an artificial ice cave. Anthropogenic climate change has made the tongue retreat rapidly from the valley underneath since 1870; soon the glacial flow will disappear completely.
