The cryosphere observation team at the Swiss Academy of Sciences reported that high temperatures in July and August, combined with the heat-absorbing impact of reddish-yellow dust blown northward from the Sahara Desert onto Swiss glaciers, led to a loss of 2.5 per cent of their volume this year. It has compounded the negative impact of climate change after a devastating two-year run that depleted the ice by more than 10 per cent, scientific experts reported on Tuesday. Related …
