Swiss glaciers are literally vanishing before our eyes—scientists just recorded the second-earliest glacier loss ever, with 38% of the ice gone since 2000. This year, all the winter snow and ice melted by July 4 (weeks ahead of schedule), which means the glaciers will just keep shrinking through summer. The early melt is blamed on low snowfall and record heat, and it’s a huge deal for water supplies and climate. It’s like the Alps are screaming for help! #Science #ClimateCrisis #GlacierMelt
