Alpine glaciers are melting.
Yesterday one collapsed killing at least 6 tourists...

"The heat is unusual,'' Mr Milan said, noting that temperatures have reached 10C at the glacier's peak in recent days.
"That's extreme heat," he said. "Clearly it's something abnormal."

Reinhold Messner, an Italian mountaineer, told La Republica newspaper that the glacier has been receding for several years due to the impact of global warming.
"There is hardly any ice left," Mr Messner said. He noted that glaciers occasionally collapse "due to gravity," but said the reason for the glacier's retreat "is the global heat, which causes glaciers to melt".

At least five killed in Italian Marmolada glacier collapse

Emergency officials said another eight people have been injured, with two suffering serious injuries.
