This is the Home Page of the conference "What We Need To Know Before Speaking On Climate Changes & Global Warning" given on the 15th April 2013 weekly meetingof the Roray Club of Crans-Montana (Switzerland). If the you click on the interlinks (underlined text and bots), you can navigate and find the majority of the plates shown during the conference, as well as a supplementary text.
This plate illustrates the Tschierva glacier (Bernina, 4049 meters in the center), in which one can recognize all the main parts of a glacier: (i) the ridge with the summits ; (ii) The cirque ; (iii) A tributary glacier (which is not tributary anymore) ; (iv) The snow line ; (v) An hanging valley with a plateau ; (vi) The main valley of the glacier ; (vii) Crevasse ; (viii) Moraine valleys ; (ix) screes, that is to say, sloping masses of loose rocks at the base of the cliffs ; (x) An ice tongue and (xi) A meltwater strea, is often use by the Environmentalist as a prove of the Global Warming that they, often, confused with Climate Change. “Global warming” is defended by the “Alarmists”, but it is denied by a lot of scientists (the “Sceptics” or “Deniers”). For the “Alarmists”, who are committed to a Global Warming creed, global warming is anthropogenic and a worldwide deindustrialization (economic growth decreasing) is absolutely necessary to save the Earth. The global warming “Sceptics” may reject all, some or only one of the beliefs of the “Alarmists”. For them, global warmings and coolings are nothing unusual in Earth's history. AS we will see, they are not catastrophic (particularly the warmings) and thhey are just natural climate changes, in which humans play a minor part.
