  9. More frequent #landslides in #mountains are a fact, They are often due to global warming, because deep ice and permafrost are the glue of many rocks in high mountains, such as the Alps.

    We cavers are testimonials of another change: in many caves average temperatures are changing of one or more degrees, this is another fact. And that is impacting as well entire ecosystems and deep limestone survival.

    Stop madness, and act to manage these changes properly, as soon as possible.
