Scientists have said climate breakdown caused by the burning of fossil fuels is the cause of unusually hot summers and winters with very low snow volume, which have caused the accelerating melts. The volume lost during the hot summers of 2022 and 2023 is the same as that lost between 1960 and 1990.

I was skiing in Grindelwald last season, and i haven't been there in about 7 or 8 years and shit is scary to be honest. It looks nothing like it did before and the snowfall was obviously really sad the past few years.
