Land O' Lakes: Melting Glaciers Transform Alpine Landscape

Globull Worming or Climate Change? In any case, many will claim Man is causing this.

Climate change is dramatically altering the Swiss Alps, where hundreds of bodies have water are being created by melting glaciers. Though the lakes can attract tourists and even generate electricity, local residents also fear catastrophic tidal waves.

In the 1990s, the first cracks began to appear in the mighty tongue of the Trift Glacier in the central Swiss canton of Bern. In 2002, the peak of the ice mass burst into thousands of pieces. Since it lay in a hollow, the water swelled into a lake rather than flowing out. The Trift Lake then became an attraction: Hundreds of tourists per day now visit the suspension bridge that hangs over this new body of water. "Many more people come to the glacier than before," says Wilfried Haeberli of Zürich University.

Essentially, this is happening all over the world in all the high mountain ranges. The problem is that most of the moraines are not that stable, and pose a risk of catastrophic collapse. Bad cess for the people and infrastructure along the rivers they feed.

It's not just a "claim", nitwit, it's a scientifically established fact.
