Mer de Glace, Chamonix-Mont Blanc

Evidence for climate change

[Thank you, and hello, to yet another small surge in new subscribers - rather like a healthy glacier?]

The next full length Substack will appear next week, but in the meantime, look at this depressing photo. This view of the Mer de Glace glacier near Chamonix, France, was taken this week. Clear evidence of the impact of climate change, I would suggest? There is ice under the dark and thick layer of moraine, but it's thickness is much depleted. It's heartbreaking to observe.
