Pink snow is appearing in the Italian Alps, offering clues as to mankind's impacts on the planet's climate. The snow changes color due to algae blooms which absorb even more heat and then melt more snow.

"Watermelon snow," also known as "pink snow," is common in the Alps during the summer, but one scientist says it's more prominent this year. Researcher Biagio Di Mauro thinks low snowfall and high atmospheric temperatures may have caused algal blooms to turn the snow pink.
