विश्व स्तर पर बढ़ते ताममान का नया शिकार चीन में होने वाला बर्फ़ का मशहूर उत्सव है. हर वर्ष लाखों सैलानी बर्फ़ की मूर्तियों को देखने के लिए चीन के उत्तर पूर्व के दूर-दराज़ इलाक़े में स्थित शहर हारबिन जाते हैं. लेकिन बढ़ते तापमान की वजह से ये मूर्तियाँ अब पिघल रही हैं. सुनिए माइकल ब्रिस्टो की ये रिपोर्ट: Harbin is one of China's coldest cities. In winter, temperatures can drop as low as minus 35 degrees centigrade. Despite this harsh climate, the city has turned itself into a popular winter tourist destination. Visitors arrive from across Asia to experience the cold - and see the city's ice sculptures. Animals, people, even famous buildings are turned into intricate sculptures that are lit up at night. But, there's a problem - winters just aren't as cold as they used to be. Last year, Harbin had its warmest year since records began. And that means the city's famous ice sculptures are melting earlier. The ice festival traditionally lasts until the end of February. But this year, there are fears the ice will have melted long before then. And this is not just a worry for environmentalists. Harbin's ice festival is the city's biggest source of income. If the ice goes, so do the tourists.
