Drohender Bergsturz: Das Bergdorf Blatten im Lötschental musste evakuiert werden
Vor einer Woche wurde das Bergdorf Blatten Lötschental evakuiert. 300 Menschen mussten in nur 90 Minuten ihre Wohnungen verlassen. Grund dafür war ein drohender Bergsturz am Nesthorn. Die Sorge dafür war groß, so rutschte der Berg in wenigen Tagen mehrere Meter ab. Mittlerweile sprechen die Behörden nicht mehr von einem gewaltigen Bergsturz. Nach und nach brach die Bergspitze des Nesthorn ab und landete auf dem Birchgletscher. Nun droht dieser abzubrechen und ins Tal zu rauschen. Auf dem Gletscher liegen gewaltige Gesteinsmassen von über 9 Millionen Tonnen. Nach und nach rutschen Gesteinsmassen über die Gletscherspitze hinaus. Bis zu 4 Meter pro Tag bewegt sich der Gletscher ins Tal. Die Anwohner hoffen auf eine baldige Rückkehr in ihren Häusern. Doch daraus wird erst einmal nichts. Die Beobachtungen am Berg waren die letzten Tage schwierig. Schlechtes Wetter verhinderte eine Sicht auf dem Berg. Angelika Rieer ist Anwohnerin aus Blatten. Das Familienunternehmen liegt im Sperrbereich. Das Warten beschäftigt sie sehr. Sie ist Naturgefahren gewohnt, ein Bergsturz hatte sie aber noch nie. *** Local Caption *** 47631245

Auch durch das globale Erwärmungsziel von 1,5°C nicht mehr zu retten: Der Vanderford-Gletscher in der Ost-Antarktis schmilzt schneller als bisher prognostiziert

Scientists say efforts to limit global temperature increase to 1.5°C under the Paris Climate Agreement may fail to save the world’s ice sheets, resulting in potentially catastrophic sea level rises.
Research led by Durham University, UK, suggests the target should instead be closer to 1°C to avoid significant losses from the polar ice sheets and an accompanying acceleration in sea level rises.
Currently, around 230 million people live within one metre of sea level and melting ice represents an existential threat to those communities, including several low-lying nations.
The climate scientists’ work suggests that while we should continue to work to reduce temperature rises, even optimistic estimates mean we should prepare to adapt to worst case scenarios.
Lead author Professor Chris Stokes, in the Department of Geography, Durham University, UK, said: “There is a growing body of evidence that 1.5 °C is too high for the ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica. We’ve known for a long time that some sea level rise is inevitable over the next few decades to centuries, but recent observations of ice sheet loss are alarming, even under current climate conditions.
“Limiting warming to 1.5°C would be a major achievement and this should absolutely be our focus. However, even if this target is met or only temporarily exceeded, people need to be aware that sea level rise is likely to accelerate to rates that are very difficult to adapt to – rates of one centimetre per year are not out of the question within the lifetime of our young people."
The team reviewed a wealth of evidence to examine the effect that the 1.5°C target would have on the ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica, which together store enough ice to raise global sea levels by almost 65 metres.
The mass of ice lost from these ice sheets has quadrupled since the 1990s and the *** Lo

Forscher untersuchen das Schmelzen des grönländischen Eisschildes / 2018 *** An Air Greenland AS350 helicopter transporting ice drilling equipment, Nuussuaq Peninsula ice cap, west Greenland. See National story NNmelt; Greenland's ice sheet is melting at a scale "off the charts" compared with the previous four centuries, warns a new study. Researchers say that if the Greenland ice sheet melting continues at "unprecedented rates" - which they attribute to warmer summers - it could accelerate the already fast pace of sea level rise. Surface melting across Greenland's mile-thick ice sheet began increasing in the mid-19th Century and then ramped up dramatically during the 20th and early 21st Centuries - and shows no signs of abating, according to the study. Scientists say their findings, published in the journal Nature, provide new evidence of the impacts of climate change on Arctic melting and global sea level rise. Study lead author Dr Luke Trusel, a glaciologist at Rowan University in the United States, said: "Melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet has gone into overdrive. "As a result, Greenland melt is adding to sea level more than any time during the last three-and-a-half centuries, if not thousands of years. "And increasing melt began around the same time as we started altering the atmosphere in the mid-1800s."

Researchers say that if the Greenland ice sheet melting continues at "unprecedented rates" - which they attribute to warmer summers - it could accelerate the already fast pace of sea level rise. Surface melting across Greenland's mile-thick ice sheet began increasing in the mid-19th Century and then ramped up dramatically during the 20th and early 21st Centuries - and shows no signs of abating, according to the study. Scientists say their findings, published in the journal Nature, provide new evidence of the impacts of climate change on Arctic melting and global sea level rise. Study lead author Dr Luke Trusel, a glaciologist at Rowan University in the United States, said: "Melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet has gone into overdrive. "As a result, Greenland melt is adding to sea level more than any time during the last three-and-a-half centuries, if not thousands of years. "And increasing melt began around the same time as we started altering the atmosphere in the mid-1800s."

Scientists around the world have warned Greenland’s ice sheet is melting faster than expected, seven times more than in the 90s. The speedy melt will push sea levels up further - exposing 40 million more people to coastal flooding, according to the findings published in the journal Nature.
