This spring, I believe on the news of the Italian television channel RAI 3, the most politicized and leftist channel of the pubblic TV, a famous meteorologist, Luca Mercalli, a true believer in Global warming and a faithful follower of the IPCC word, broadcasted from some glacier in the Alps to introduce to the public an on going activity that is aimed at measuring the amount of ice lost during the summer by the Alps glaciers. Of course , according to him, every summer, due to CO2 produced by human activity and consequent rise of temperatures the amount of melted ice increase, and the winter precipitations are not so abundant due to global warming and so on. Now, the project involve two measurements and evaluation of the extension and volume of the glacier. One conducted in spring, one conducted in autumn. Given the cold and rainy summer we had this year in Italy, with many episode of snow on the higher mountains, and patches of now still present in areas that are usually snow free during the mountains, I really look forward to see the results of this fall glacier survey. I believe that if, as it is reasonable to expect, the summer melting will be below average, the blame will go to the climate disruption caused by the record high CO2 in the atmosphere, and so on. I really look forward to see this report...
