#Himalaya-Region
Glaciers in the Himalayas are rapidly retreating under climate change, leading to widespread formation and expansion of glacial lakes and increasing the risk of glacial lake outburst floods. To date, more than 388 GLOF events have been documented in the region 😰

Climate heating is changing the Himalaya region and threatening glaciers worldwide.

And when glacier stability is undermined, sudden failures can occur, leading to horrible incidents like this one.

The higher temperatures rise, the greater the risk of sudden and devastating collapse.
🚨NEW from me: Whatever the exact trigger of the deadly Nepal flash flood, human-caused climate change is violently reshaping the Himalayas. With testimony from @drgilbz.bsky.social, and others.
