dramatically as the glacial ice that marks their summit melts away, all within the lifetime of the people who live in their shadow. we used to wake up in the morning and time that specific hour in the morning where you would be able to see the glacier in its shining form. but now you can just wake up and see it. that is one visible change, one actual change that you can see. instead of seeing the snow, you see that the mountain has gone grey like that. there is no glacier any more. you only have to go to specific places now to be able to view it, and at particular times. hydrogeologist richard taylor, who has co led expeditions to the rwenzori, says because temperatures show little seasonal variability here, the disappearing glaciers are a clear sign of climate change. ice fields in the tropics have a generally stable ice mass
here, the disappearing glaciers are a clearsign of climate change. ice fields in the tropics have a generally stable ice mass in the absence of changing climate, just because of that, if you will call it, seasonal stability and temperature. and so, departures from that, such as climate change, you can see very distinct changes or recessions in those in the areal extent, or the terminal position, or ideally in the total mass of the glacier itself, indicates a change in climate. and so, perhaps the most definitive markers of climate change are the recession of tropical alpine ice fields, which you find in the andes and east africa as well. also in irianjaya, in papua new guinea.
coming in the middle of the night, mostly family units, some bringing young children with them. i mentioned chilly temperatures, late january in the rgv, they were given thermal blankets n the rgv, they are still averaging over 1000 apprehensions every single day. we re used to see the family units, not to see what we witnessed this week. look at this video this was san san antonio i.c.e. bus mass releasing all single adult males in the airport, releasing them to travel wherever they want. there was an ngo waiting to see them. that is some of the women you see there. that ndo lined the men up, they brought them into the airport, the men are free to travel where they lant to go. that wasn t it. look at video in brownsville, we witnessed i.c.e. mass releasing more single adult men. some had ankle monitors on when they were released.
