Innovation, Sustainability and Climate Action - Berlin & Geneva - Open to Work in Switzerland
We are in a climate emergency. "Thousands of tourists spill onto a boardwalk in Alaska’s capital city every day from cruise ships towering over downtown. Vendors hawk shoreside trips and rows of buses stand ready to whisk visitors away, with many headed for the area’s crown jewel: the Mendenhall Glacier. A craggy expanse of grey, white and blue, the glacier gets swarmed by sightseeing helicopters and attracts visitors by kayak, canoe and foot. So many come to see the glacier and Juneau’s other wonders that the city’s immediate concern is how to manage them all as a record number are expected this year. Some residents flee to quieter places during the summer, and a deal between the city and cruise industry will limit how many ships arrive next year. But climate change is melting the Mendenhall Glacier. It is receding so quickly that by 2050, it might no longer be visible from the visitor centre it once loomed outside." #alaska #northamerica #glaciers #climatechange #globalwarming #tourism #future Read more & #shareyourthoughts https://lnkd.in/e_-_dHFN

We saw it in 2012. But we were on a small ship that carried 65 passengers. And the folks on that cruise that had taken big ship cruises previously unanimously told us they would never do it again.

1yBut the sea levels haven't risen at all, as was/is the claim of the climate alarmists over the last few decades. Quote, "the ice caps will melt, and people will drown along the coastlines where the sea levels will rise". So far, 100% nonsense. Like all the rest of it. Using fraudulent science and fake statistics to frighten people into compliance. It's how the unscrupulous socialists control the masses. Fear is a powerful tool in their aresenal.
