The lake helps the glacier calve off chunks of ice. There is also the heat from the lake that speeds up meltdown.

The measurements show long-term trends. Glaciers react to climate change, and warmer temperatures in the Alps are reflected in the results.

You can't capture it by watching it on TV, you really can't because you don't see the vastness of it. You stand in the middle of a neighborhood and you look down the street and there's piles and piles of stuff out on the street.

And there may be many things we forget in the days to come,

But this will not be one of them.
