russian in context

Small talk in russian - Let´s talk - Speak with me / Small talk - Диалог - Коротко и ясно!

Borders between countries sometimes change after wars or international agreements, but part of the border between Italy and Switzerland is changing because of melting glaciers.

Large sections of the border are defined by different parts of the glacier, for example the lines of ridges in the ice.

But climate change has caused glaciers across Europe to melt and this has changed the positions of the glaciers' ridges and the natural boundaries between the countries.

The two countries have been talking about the new borders for a number of months. Switzerland signed the new border agreement at the end of September and it's waiting for Italy to do the same.

Part of the border is close to the popular Swiss ski resort of Zermatt. Some of the slopes will be affected by the border change, although skiers shouldn't need to worry about carrying their passports up the mountain!

In fact, both countries are in the Schengen area, so anyone with a visa to visit one of them will usually be able to visit the other without any problems.

The changes have been made so that it is clear which of the two countries is responsible for maintaining certain areas.

But both countries' economic interests were also considered when the new borders were agreed, Bloomberg said.

According to 2023 data, Switzerland's glaciers lost 4% of their volume in 2023, after losing a record 6% of their volume in 2022.

The region has had less snow and warmer summers in recent years.

Some glaciers have no ice left, and the situation will only get worse if nothing is done about climate change, experts say.

According to a 2023 study, up to half of the world's glaciers could disappear by 2100, even if we make progress with targets limiting climate change.

Sommerzeit – Winterzeit


(A) ALLE JAHRE WIEDER: Deutschland stellt von Sommerzeit auf Winterzeit um. Ob das gut oder schlecht ist, DARAN SCHEIDEN SICH DIE GEISTER. 

(B)  Viele freuen sich jedes Jahr auf die Sommerzeit, denn es bleibt länger hell und MAN HAT MEHR VON SEINEM FEIERABEND. Andere stehen der Zeitumstellung eher skeptisch gegenüber. Dazu gehören Eltern von Kleinkindern, deren Rhythmus empfindlich gestört wird.  Auch Landwirte sind nicht begeistert, denn die Fütterungszeiten und Melkzeiten der Tiere müssen umgestellt werden. Menschen mit Schlafstörungen oder organischen Erkrankungen haben Schwierigkeiten sich anzupassen und LAUT EINER STATISTIK werden nach jeder Zeitumstellung auf der Straße mehr Unfälle als sonst verzeichnet. 

(C)  Das sind nur einige der Probleme, die man aufzählen könnte. Wenn man bedenkt, dass sich die ursprüngliche Hoffnung auf Energie-Einsparung in keiner Weise erfüllt hat, könnte man schon die Frage stellen: Warum verabschiedet man sich nicht von dieser Idee?
