POPSSwiss seek Pope's blessing to stop glacier melting more: "The residents of Fiesch and Fischertal hope that this will happen in September or October and are optimistic that the Holy Father will decide in their favor as he has repeatedly spoken out about climate change," they said in a statement. Switzerland's glaciers shrank by 12 percent over the past decade, melting at their fastest rate due to rising temperatures and lighter snowfalls, a recent study showed. Glaciers are a key source of water for hydro-electric plants in Switzerland as well as an important tourist attraction. Researchers are predicting that the temperatures in the Swiss Alps will rise by 1.8 degrees Celsius in winter and by 2.7 degrees Celsius in the summer by 2050.

POPSAppalachian Trail: Canary in the Coal Mine "People will read that on 25 or 30 days in a given year, it's considered unhealthy to walk on the Appalachian Trail, and we think that's going to grab people's attention more than if they just read about air quality trends in general," he said. That's also why volunteers will be critical to the project's success. It's one thing for people to read about technical reports on bird migrations, acid rain or air quality, Startzell says. "We think it's another thing when people learn about that firsthand by actually helping to collect that information," he says."
