With emissions still rising 📈 and the catastrophic consequences 🔥 becoming ever clearer, geoengineering is getting ever more tempting 🧪
But a review has concluded that the main methods proposed to save polar ice 🧊 are not doable or won't work

Geoengineering is not going to save the poles from climate change
A review of the five main methods proposed for cooling down the poles or slowing the loss of ice concludes they are all wildly impractical, wouldn't work, or both

It's the time of the year GLAMOS measurements on around 20 Swiss #glaciers start. We've been on Rhone, Allalin, Corvatsch, ... these days.
Not all as shiny white as here! Major losses also in 2025. Stay posted for the press release via @scnat.ch on 1 Oct

Look at how glaciers in Heard Island (a sub-antarctic island) is retreating over time
❄️ A landmark new study has revealed that glaciers on Australia’s remote sub-Antarctic Heard Island are shrinking at an accelerating rate due to rising temperatures and climate change.

This is the collapsing terminus of Rhone #glacier yesterday - retreating out of its proglacial lake. Impressive changes going on during the heat wave!
We measured almost 3 meters of ice melting over the last 4 weeks... This is 10 cm of ice layer removed every single day!!

I recently got an opportunity to speak on glaciers and how would the world look like if the climate is continuously warming up, and glaciers are losing mass.
Tried my best to communicate from my experiences and domain knowledge in this podcast!

BC - a big threat to glaciers!
Black Carbon is part of a group of super pollutants known to adversely affect the atmosphere and accelerate global warming.
Like CO₂, #BlackCarbon is an equally warming but lesser-known pollutant that is contributing to glacier loss in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH).
