[Adam Ramsay Jourdan @ARJourdan]

Liz Keller, a paleoclimate specialist, said it was tough to determine whether we've hit a "point of no return," but it's clear the rate of change is unprecedented. "You might see the same rise in CO2 over thousands of years, and now it's happened in 100 years.” @AlexRamiroV

El Plomo has been revered for centuries, now the mountain is crumbling. Rising temperatures have led the glacier to retreat. Landslides have injured climbers and massive sinkholes have opened up, breaking up the ancient path to the summit https://t.co/LmWX0tRxLU
