ClimateEdict #5: Swiss Glacier Retreat, Pacific Upwelling Risks, UN Climate Impact Report, and Midwest Heat

This applies just as much to climate as it does to finance. A single choice on emissions or land use may seem insignificant, but repeated across years and societies, it defines the path of ecosystems and people. That is the reason I started writing ClimateEdict. The goal is to turn scattered information into awareness that grows, so more people can see how these changes connect and why they matter. Swiss Glaciers Shrinking at Record Pace Swiss glaciers are shrinking fast. The circles show glacier size, and the colors show how much ice is being lost each year — darker red means faster melting. Almost all glaciers are now in decline. New monitoring results from the Swiss Academy of Sciences show that glaciers in Switzerland lost about 5% of their total volume in 2025 alone , the second-worst year after 2022. Since 2000, th...
