Energieweg 04: Niederschlag und Klimawandel

From here you have a good view of the Porchabella glacier. Since 1850, it has become 1.5 km shorter - an impressive testimony to global warming as a result of our increased energy consumption.

But it is not only global warming that is causing the glacier to retreat. In the audio report, climatologist Franziska Siegrist tells you what else is causing problems for the glacier. The audio file can be found at the back of the pictures.   

At the next interesting place "Dauerleister Wind" near the wind turbines, you can learn more about the electricity production of the Kesch-Hütte.
