Due to the warming of the global climate the snow and ice in and around The Matterhorn has been melting, which is spurring Italian and Swiss officials to re-draw the border between their two countries. This peaceful negotiation will result in a new border for the two countries, but elsewhere in the world other border changes caused by global warming could possibly be not so peaceful.
