If there is a sector in which the impact of climate change is visible to the naked eye, it is that of ski areas, in which the "raw material", i.e. natural snow, is increasingly scarce, almost to the point of disappearing as the altitude drops.To try to smooth out the effects of a structural problem that evidently cannot be cured at the root, the Italian government - according to the usual logic of "aid packages" and "special funds" - continues to provide funds to private individuals in difficulty For new artificial snow systems.The executive has in fact already allocated well for this purpose 147 million of euros, in particular for the construction of water supply tanks, for the renovation of cableways and for the construction of large piles of technical snow, useful for starting the winter season early.And, while strategies for serious sustainable tourism clearly take a backseat to others 200 million non-refundable are already on the plate.A technique tha...
