Travel and Leisure magazine published an interesting article this week on some research recently published by Swiss scientists in the European Geosciences Union (EGU) journal The Cryosphere.  In the article, the scientists show that the best case scenario, where nations around the world follow the Paris climate agreements to limit greenhouse warming to 2 degrees Centigrade, the snow in the Alps will be reduced by about 30%.  If greenhouse gas emissions go up quicker than that, up to 70% of snow in the Alps could be missing by 2100.  This will be a huge cost to the Swiss skiing industry and tourism.  You can read more at https://www.travelandleisure.com/trip-ideas/skiing-trips/snow-alps-climate-change.
