Two 'catastrophic' years melt away 10% of Swiss glacier volume: study
Two consecutive years of extreme warming in the Alps have obliterated 10 percent of Swiss glacier volume -- the same amount lost in the three decades prior to 1990, a report revealed Thursday."Swiss glaciers are melting at a rapidly increasing rate," it said in a statement. 2022 marked the worst year on record for glacier melt in the Swiss Alps, with six percent of the total ice volume lost.
