Also, did we need more evidence that climate change is real? The article has a paragraph about deniers ("people […] cynical about the impact of climate change") but somehow I don't think they will change their mind because there is a now a lake where there shouldn't be in the Alps.
Consider the USCRN raw temperature dsta, which comes from the gold standard observation network, with carefully sited locations and the best instruments. It was designed from the start to have reliable observational data needing few, if any, corrections. It has seen very little warming since it went live about 15 years ago. True, it only covers the US, and 15 years isn’t yet long enough to have enough statistical significance for a confident claim of little to no warming, but it is getting close. One can’t simply ignore the data, though. It will soon require an explanation.
It is amusing / sad how closely that follows the Narcissist's Prayer:

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did...
You deserved it.
I've heard it called the ladder of denialism, but it's more of a mouse wheel, they end up back at the first step sooner or later.
Get involved with the strikes on the 20th. You can even put your website on strike https://digital.globalclimatestrike.net/ (got some big names signed up already).
Here are some good resources to combat science deniers but it's probably better to focus on people in the middle who know it's happening but have yet to take action.
