Duncan Porter, a tourist from Bristol, shared compelling photos comparing the Rhône glacier in the Swiss Alps from 2009 and 2024, revealing dramatic glacier melt. Initially captured from a now-closed hotel, the stark transformation, showing dwindling ice and an expanded lake, moved Porter to tears. This visual, which went viral, underscores rapid climate change impacts, intensified by carbon emissions.
