Fabric sheets help protect Swedish glaciers from global warming

Stockholm: Fabric sheets used to protect parts of glacier heliags in North Sweden during the summer saved at least 3.5 meters high from melting, according to the organizers of private initiatives, the first in Scandinavia.
Global warming causes glaciers to shrink throughout the world.
For example, the glacier on Mount Sweden is the highest, Kebnekaise, has lost two meters last year.
Fabric experiments were carried out on Glacier Helts, on the highest mountain of Sweden South Arctic Circle.
“We discussed a small portion of the glacier with a layer of wool and corn starch just to see if we could get snow and ice to melt a little less than usual,” said Co-Instigator Erik Huss.
“This sheet is completely protected 3.5-4 meters from melting.” Huss, communication consultant with a degree in Glaciology who has an idea along with the Swedish adventurous Oskar Kihlborg, said the glacier is the best size of climate change.
“They show exactly how climate changes, and also what you can do to protect the environment,” he told Reuters.
Huss and his friends hope to reproduce their tests on a scale greater than 40 square meters covered by HelgS, and to involve glaciological researchers for a more scientific approach.
They are also in talks with fabric producers about trying to make material thinner, and very a little heavy.
It is the key to improving, said Huss, because, as part of an effort to minimize carbon emissions from the project, the biodegradable fabric sheet was dragged onto the mountain by hand.
“It’s about doing something for the project, the initiators hope to increase awareness about the dangers to be faced by many people if the glacier disappears.” There is no access to water for farming, for industry, for billions of people.
Where do they go? Where did they get their water? “There are billions around the world who live with mountains such as Rocky Mountains, Andes, Alps and Himalayas …
who rely on glaciers for water supplies.” Another goal is to show that direct action to reduce the impact of global warming Can have results.
“It’s also about doing something,” Huss said.
Covering glaciers to save them from further shrinkage has been tested elsewhere, such as in Italy’s presenter, but never before in Nordic countries.
