00:00Meet the Glacier Detectives
00:01The whole valley here was once covered in snow and ice.
00:05This sign shows how far the glacier in the Alps once extended.
00:09Hintangai Spana is a mount of very few glaciers recorded for decades.
00:14That's thanks to researches like these.
00:16They climbed 3,000 meters to put up this 8-meter tower
00:20fitted with sensors for temperature, wind, and turbulence.
00:24It shows how much ice melts and how quickly.
00:26Measuring one of the most direct impacts of human-caused climate change.
00:31Glaciers beat our rivers, so losing them means we first see floods and then droughts.
00:36In the Alps, up to 90% of the ice could vanish by the end of the century.
00:41What they're doing here shows us the early warning signs of what's about to come globally.
00:46Scientists say there's still time to turn things around
00:49if we reduce emissions and stabilize the climate.
00:52Then these glaciers and our security will be protected.
00:56We'll see and then come back to that end of the year's turn beer.
