This interview was taken the 28 May 2021 directly on the "Aletschgletscher"
- Is "artificial snow" efficient enough to save glaciers?
- "It is instantly efficient, but in general I think that glaciers are condemned to die. So the glaciers won't grow in the future."
- Do you know countermeasures to stop the glacier melt?
- "Artificial snow is only one possibility. Another one is to reduce the emissions."
- Will you vote for the "glacier initiative"?
- Obviously!
- Is it realistic to reduce the emissions to zero by the year 2050 as the Paris climate agreement wanted?
- I think it's not so realistic.
- Is water more important than the fundamental part of a glacier?
- Sure it is! A glacier consists to 99% of water.
In the next week, we will have four other questions for Prof. Dr. Dario Farinotti, that today was very occupied during his research on the "Aletschgletscher".
