In 1919 a pioneering aviator took iconic photos of the Mont Blanc glaciers. A century later, a team of experts has recreated the images to highlight the drastic ice melt caused by rising temperatures.

Despite an overwhelming body of scientific evidence tracking humanity's contribution to climate change, it is often difficult to grasp the enormity of a phenomenon that unfolds so gradually.

Using the latest geolocation and 3D visualisation techniques, they were able to pinpoint the precise patch of sky from which Mittelholzer snapped the photos for maximum impact. The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change last month released a landmark assessment of Earth's frozen spaces, known as the cryosphere.

Im so glad the climate changed. I think the ice age would have been terrible. If snow stopped melting in the mountains, all you urban liberals would have no drinking water. 😂

Looks virtually the same to me. So stark!!! Next...

So you must obviously be pointing out the fact there had been no change in 100 yrs?

Need more 💰, and that glacier will be good as new. Great reporting CTV!

Emperor's new clothes. You cannot show a picture like that and expect people to spot the difference cause its like Where Waldo, I just look for the hotdog stand...

STARK? really? Maybe you should check the definition. climateisfine

Does this mean the dinosaurs will come back too like the big freeze killed them off not sure what caused that tho wasn’t humans

... stark?

?

Where's the beef?

Summer and winter?

I actually have pictures from six months ago that show giant snow banks in my back yard where now there is green grass growing! That’s in six months! I believe climate change is accelerating much more quickly than we realize!

Wait, which ones the before and which ones the after?

Please, please, I’m begging you, tax me now, fix this! Oh the humanity! A glacier melted and we’re just sitting here like nothing happened.🤪

Did you just assume that glaciers gender ?

I didn’t believe fake news until now 😂

Have you folks ever looked at an archeology book ? Save the bs the climate changes

CTV News , one of the biggest spreader’s of “Fake News” in Canada No wonder anyone with any amount of critical thinking doesn’t believe main stream media What happened to investigative journalism ?

If you could only have a picture of it 20000 years ago...the panic would be epic lol

4UWell Color is different. That’s all. Maybe from acid rain 🌧😂

Looking at the emount of exposed rock and ignoring what could either be dirt/soil or just dirty ice they look pretty similar

I can't see the difference, can you see the difference?

What a crock. Give me a 'tax' break. Complete hysteria.

Hardly no difference according to these 2 pictures.

Wow nice use of two different filters

Take my tax money already. I get it.

Doesn't look much different

So let me get this straight, an entire industry is collapsing, tens of thousands of people are desperately struggling, suicide rates are way up, and this is the best you got? Unreal.

Wow so they used a filter? That’s the only difference I see

I’m not seeing any difference but the colour.

Pay more carbon taxes ?

Toronto! pictures taking in different months! 🤔. stop with the fear mongering. The election is over! Stop the division! Be responsible!

Enough is enough! All of you stop using your planet morphing super powers to mess with the ozone layer and melt glaciers. Some of us are trying to download porn!

OK! Enough is enough!! All of you stop using your planet morphing super powers to stop patching ozone holes and melting glaciers! Some of us are trying to download porn.

Stark? These are identical photos.

These pictures look the same except one is black and white 🤔🤷‍♀️

I can't tell the difference. Lol.

Nobody is buying what you selling. Tell your girl Caterine to knock it off.

And yet polar bears are flourishing

Looks the same to me...

Do you have one from two centuries ago...you know for comparison? Glacier retreat was commented on in the 1850s. What caused that? Grow up.
