• Learn about climate change from a top climate change scientist, Steve Schneider and if you want dramatic pictures of glaciers receding, most likely due to climate change, look around the Glacier Archive (in German but "a picture is worth a thousand words" just click on any of the towns to see pictures of dramatic glacial retreat. ).
