A further indication of the enormous impact of global warming is the fact that the Marmolada glacier on the border of Trentino and Veneto is predicted to entirely disappear by 2035 (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/sep/01/marmolada-queen-of-dolomites-glacier-could-vanish-within-15-years). This 'river of ice', which is currently more than 3,300m in length has apparently lost more than 80% of its volume in the last 70 years. This could very well intensify flooding in the area.
