Mont Blanc, the tallest mountain in Europe, located in the Alps between Italy and France, has become a symbol of climate change as its glaciers continue to rapidly melt in response to the warming of the Earth.
As the ice melts and falls, it creates a dangerous hazard for both locals and the millions of tourists who visit the site annually while also drying up fresh water supplies, said Fabrizio Troilo, a geologist for the Safe Mountain Foundation, an Italian-based organization.

In the 1970's we were told there was an ice age coming, didn't happen, then we were told there's a hole in the Ozone layer, that hasn't been mentioned for a while, has it been fixed, then it was global warming which was soon changed to climate change….. must be due a new name soon
God promised the four seasons until he comes again in great wrath and fury. With great jealousy, and he will requite the evil that the wicked have done.Pray ye that your flight be not in the winter and woe to them that give in suck those days.

According to the Vostok Ice Core Records, CO2 level changes have followed Earth's overall temperature changes at an 800 year lag for the last 800,000 years. That means that our current CO2 levels are the result of Earth's overall temperature 800 years ago. World leaders have convinced their dependents that this works in the reverse order, relatively quickly, and that we are to blame, so that they can tax us out of a false shared guilt in order to be able to afford to "fight" climate change, an unstoppable natural cycle. The following is the source of this information:

Period of Record

Methods
In January 1998, the collaborative ice-drilling project between Russia, the United States, and France at the Russian Vostok station in East Antarctica yielded the deepest ice core ever recovered, reaching a depth of 3,623 m (Petit et al. 1997, 1999). Ice cores are unique with their entrapped air inclusions enabling direct records of past changes in atmospheric trace-gas composition. Preliminary data indicate the Vostok ice-core record extends through four climate cycles, with ice slightly older than 400 kyr (Petit et al. 1997, 1999). Because air bubbles do not close at the surface of the ice sheet but only near the firn-ice transition (that is, at ~90 m below the surface at Vostok), the air extracted from the ice is younger than the surrounding ice (Barnola et al. 1991). Using semiempirical models of densification applied to past Vostok climate conditions, Barnola et al. (1991) reported that the age difference between air and ice may be ~6000 years during the coldest periods instead of ~4000 years, as previously assumed. Ice samples were cut with a bandsaw in a cold room (at about -15°C) as close as possible to the center of the core in order to avoid surface contamination (Barnola et al. 1983). Gas extraction and measurements were performed with the "Grenoble analytical setup," which involved crushing the ice sample (~40 g) under vacuum in a stainless-steel container without melting it, expanding the gas released during the crushing in a pre-evacuated sampling loop, and analyzing the CO2 concentrations by gas chromatography (Barnola et al. 1983). The analytical system, except for the stainless-steel container in which the ice was crushed, was calibrated for each ice sample measurement with a standard mixture of CO2 in nitrogen and oxygen. For further details on the experimental procedures and the dating of the successive ice layers at Vostok, see Barnola et al. (1987, 1991), Lorius et al. (1985), and Petit et al. (1999).
Trends
There is a close correlation between Antarctic temperature and atmospheric concentrations of CO2 (Barnola et al. 1987). The extension of the Vostok CO2 record shows that the main trends of CO2 are similar for each glacial cycle. Major transitions from the lowest to the highest values are associated with glacial-interglacial transitions. During these transitions, the atmospheric concentrations of CO2 rises from 180 to 280-300 ppmv (Petit et al. 1999). The extension of the Vostok CO2 record shows the present-day levels of CO2 are unprecedented during the past 420 kyr. Pre-industrial Holocene levels (~280 ppmv) are found during all interglacials, with the highest values (~300 ppmv) found approximately 323 kyr BP. When the Vostok ice core data were compared with other ice core data (Delmas et al. 1980; Neftel et al. 1982) for the past 30,000 – 40,000 years, good agreement was found between the records: all show low CO2 values [~200 parts per million by volume (ppmv)] during the Last Glacial Maximum and increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations associated with the glacial-Holocene transition. According to Barnola et al. (1991) and Petit et al. (1999) these measurements indicate that, at the beginning of the deglaciations, the CO2 increase either was in phase or lagged by less than ~1000 years with respect to the Antarctic temperature, whereas it clearly lagged behind the temperature at the onset of the glaciations.

Noticed your interested in climate Justice you may care to take a listen to my modern day protest song? Or even share it. Best wishes! https://youtu.be/WgUnltxr3p4
People today are willfully ignorant of the world wide flood in Noah's day. Just a fable, they say.
The rainbow is proof that God will never flood the whole earth again.
See the media fakery? They have rejected God and his pure words of life. With apostasy comes that man of sin. Soon we will all know this wicked one when he appears.
Tony Heller exposes the lies of climate change and how they fake the graphs.$$$$
I was told in school that "Blackpool will be under water in just 10 years!"…
I'm 42 now
It's called
AUGUST you fucking morons.
Misinformation at its best.
Lets be real here. Trying to stop climate change seems so liberal that conservatives won't want to be apart of it. Nothing will change and we will suffer. Come to peace with that.
Thats totally normal.
Who cares.
Why is it that there are more volcanoes erupting? Is it possible to control the weather? Is the solar system heating up? Can car and factory and cow methane cause volcanoes to erupt and the solar system to heat up?
the energy cycles of the sun drives earth's weather and climate.
fakers
Fake news, Do you know that Ice-age is over? What do u want to snow like in ice age? we have nothing to do with this, snow was melting even before 1700s who was responsible? no gas, no oil, no coil WHO? now we face real problem it`s groundwater deposits drying up, soon no more fresh water by 2050 and rivers if we continue irrigate at the same level, more we need to find cheap salt water solution this will solve raising sea levels too.
THERE IS A NATURAL CLIMATE CHANGE IT STARTED FROM DAY 1 AND HAS CONTINUED SINCE ….MOST OF THE PEOPLE DONT KNOW BUT CLIMATE RENEWABLES CREDITS ARE LIKE BITCOIN THEY CAN BE BROUGHT AND SOLD ….CLIMATE CHANGE RENEWABLE CREDITS DOES NOT SAVE THE PLANET, CAN NOT CHANGE THE CLIMATE, BUT MAKE SOME COUNTRIES AND BILLIONAIRES VERY RICH
Come on people, this is normal glacier flow!!! The more pressure on top of the mountain from fallen ice and snow controls how fast it moves!! So, let me get this correct, there is so much ice and snow on top of the mountain that the glacier is moving so it must be global warming??? Yeah that makes sense!!!
NO using helicopters because climate change.

eh, big deal we can climb 14K ft up in Hawaii.
That place isn’t even real. It’s all CGI. Fake fake and fake.
If you are looking for something to do to fight climate chang you can use ecosia thet are search engin that plant trees
total world kill off, keep talking about profits and drilling rights, stupid
I believe the sea levels are rising. That's why all these rich liberals and Hollywood celebs are selling their beach front properties.  Oh, wait, none of them are. In fact, they keep buying them. But, it is indeed why banks stopped investing and lending on them. Oh, wait, no, they keep lending on beach front properties. Odd.   For some reason, the people telling us to worry, don't seem worried themselves. But, no, it's not a scam. Al Gor said so. If you don't believe him, give him money to see his movie so he can tell you so.
Woah look out a glacier breaking loose better start using paper straws and giving the govt our guns… right Greta ?
Obama sitting in his home next to the ocean must have missed the memo.

Aren't those the caucuses mountains?
Enough of the climate change nonsense. Climate change is as fake as ABC news
Well if all the glaciers melt. The warm golf stream air that goes West to Europe will stop. And then Europe will be in an ice age. So eventually the ice will rebuild. #brighterside
Why do we need glaciers?
I know this is completely distracting from the conversation but that reporter is so hotttt and his accent😩ðŸ˜ÂÂðŸ˜ÂÂ😠okay I’m done
There's no global warming because the stable genius says so.
This crap happens every 30 years. Quit this fear mongering bs.
Okay you think climate change is real why why isn't everybody protesting China look up their stats on their pollution their population is running around with surgical masks on to survive and everybody complains about the US how is about hitting the ones does doing all of the pollution
Hysteria, Left Wing politics, and new age doomsday religion  According to NASA, Earth’s average temperature has only increased by 0.8 degrees Celsius since 1880. How can that possibly be a "climate crisis"? If your refrigerator’s temperature varies by just .8 degrees Celsius, does that mean your refrigerator is broken? When did the Earth have a more pleasant climate than we have today? The honest answer is probably NEVER. The only time I could even consider being better was the Medieval Warm Period (about 800-1400 AD), when Europe prospered with mild temperatures and food was plentiful. Even frigid Greenland was green with vegetation. The Earth was many degrees warmer back then, but today we have become hysterical over a tiny .8 degree Celsius increase in temperature.
The obvious political, financial, and religious motives for spreading climate fear are the real drivers of anti-carbon climate hysteria, not science. Doomsday religions have been popular since the dawn of man, and climate hysteria is an ancient phenomenon that has plagued our past. Five hundred years ago the weather was so extreme that Europeans burned alive thousands of people accused of being "weather witches." Through "weather cooking" they were believed to have caused terrifying storms that destroyed crops and killed farm animals. Only a few citizens objected to burning their neighbors and using torture to gain confessions. The dissenters believed that weather is controlled by Nature, not by man. If you express those exact sentiments today even United States senators and congressmen will brand you a "denier," a term historically used in different forms by virtually all intolerant religions around the world.

Mean while in Nebraska U.S.A. it's supposed to snow this week. 2 months earlier then normal. Plates shift. When the crust moves then countrys shift. Then climate will change.
Yea order nother burger they said!
The fuck are we supposed to do about this if it's as bad as the propaganda says? The sooner we're gone the sooner earth can heal.
Just think of all the new waterfront property that will be created. You could have waterfront property too, someday.
Goodbye ice hello water
Climate change has been happening for billions of years.
Not to worry, it will return . Don't be gullible.
The glacier is melting due to climate change… let's fly to France, hop in a helicopter and burn some more jet fuel to get a closer look. This asshole has a carbon footprint larger than 99% of humans on earth and he has the gull to tell us it's for spreading awareness!!!
Lol, enough of this nonsense!!!
Fake news!
LOL Breaking News – Ice melted during the Summer ! OMFG that's funny !
Wow…Ice is melting the glaciers exponentially..The more they melt, the faster they melt. Everything is on an unstopable course .
When I was in elementary school in 2001 they told us that my home state of Hawaii would be underwater by 2020 due to rising sea levels caused by climate change now it’s 2019 and nothing has changed and we aren’t underwater. Climate change is over sensationalized to create fear.
