Experts Say Climate Wuels Himalayas Floods
The article discusses the impact of climate change on the increasing likelihood of glacial and rockslides in high mountain regions, with a focus on the flood disaster in the Himalayas between Nepal and Tibet. The incident resulted in 165 deaths, with at least 800 people still missing out of a total of 1,500 missing individuals. Rising temperatures and melting glaciers contribute to weakening the stability of rocks and slopes, heightening the risk of catastrophic landslides. The recent catastrophe has caused river courses to change and infrastructure to be destroyed. Experts confirm that climate change plays a key role in the escalating severity of these hazards and underscores the urgent need for adaptation to the growing risks threatening local populations.
