Melting glaciers threaten to wipe out European villages – is the steep cost to protect them worth it?

 Melting glaciers threaten to wipe out European villages – is the steep
cost to protect them worth it? Switzerland spends almost $500m a year on
protective structures, but a report carried out in 2007 for the Swiss
parliament suggested real protection against natural hazards could cost six
times that. Is that a worthwhile investment? Or should the country – and
residents – really consider the painful option of abandoning some of their
villages?
