随着温室效应造成的全球气温上升,越来越多的冰川濒临融化,人类为了保护冰川想出了各种办法。瑞士居民用防紫外线“巨毯”盖住了阿尔卑斯山南部的冰川,严防夏季高温将冰川融化。科学家称,此举可以降低冰川50%至70%退缩率。冰川加速消融、海平面持续上升,这也在为全球气候危机敲响警钟。


双语正文

One of Switzerland's most popular ski areas has been covering mountain areas with cloth material in an effort to reduce ice melt over the summer.

Workers have placed large blankets of material around Mount Titlis, a ski area near the Swiss mountain town of Engelberg.

The area contains a glacier that has been losing large amounts of ice over the past 20 years.

The protective cloth, made of polyester material, is designed to block the sun.

Putting the blankets over the glacier provides "a natural protective shield," Gian Darms explained to Reuters.

He oversees snow conditions and mountain security in the area.

Decreasing snow cover resulting from higher temperatures presents a serious threat to ski areas across Europe.

Having a glacier can provide some protection from climate change.

It can help keep large snow supplies on the mountain year-round.

This snow can later be moved to fill in areas where it is needed.
