The Glaciers' Grim Reckoning: Nepal's Devastating Floods and Climate Change A massive glacial collapse in the remote mountain region near the Nepal China border has triggered flash floods, leaving over 165 people dead and thousands missing.
Entire villages have been submerged under a thick layer of mud and water, underscoring the devastating consequences of climate change.
The international scientific community has long warned about the dangers of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), which are becoming increasingly common in the Himalayas due to rapid warming.
