Any climactic event as deadly, with that much mayhem and cataclysmic destruction, can only be the result of a rapidly changing climate.

Are you gonna blame all of that on climate change?


I mean, I guess I will.

Ask the guy when the climate has ever been static, though.

Well, the climate IS changing, and not for the better, but part of the problem is mankind's insistence in creating large cities in totally inhospitable climates. Look at Phoenix-- 6,000,000 people trying to sustain a huge metropolis in a desert. What could go wrong there? The climate of that region was hot and practically rainless when the town was established in the late 1800's, and it has only gotten much hotter in the last 20-30 years since climate change fully kicked in. I mean you have saguaro cacti MELTING and Western Diamondbacks literally roasting to death -- in burrows they sought out to avoid the merciless sun. It's cruel, and unnatural

How are any of those things mysterious? Are you under the impression that flooding is a new phenomenon?

Godless commies, Langtang Lirung is the holy mountain in Nepal. No one is allowed to scale it, even the most ardent western mountaineers respect the ancient traditions.

It’s the long held belief of the locals and Nepalese that a very powerful force of nature/spirit dwells in that mountain. It’s bad mojo to even attempt to climb it, I’ve seen multiple shows documenting the arduous trek that thousands partake just to the shrine that overlooks the mountain.

quote:

The indigenous Langtangpa people revere Langtang Lirung as their yu-lha, or local country god and protector of the valley.

Traditional beliefs hold that honoring the mountain keeps the community and valley safe from harm.

Mind you, my OP was not presented as gospel truth, just a story that sounded more plausible than "climate change".

Same as this one, which does seem more sciency:

DOGE cut funding to some NGO that uses satelites to study glacier lakes that could have warned the people about the impending doom that nobody else saw coming
Did you ask her why the US should protect Nepal from devastating glacial caused mud slides? I would say Nepal is perfectly capable of building their own warning systems or hell, even question China as to why they were building this whatever was so near their border. But China is asshoe and we all know the cooperation they would get the asshoe.

If it was a failure of the rock in the mountain, then the weight of the glacier on it contributed. Too much ice. Not global warming.

climate activists diverted billions in USAID and UN climate funding from low-cost flood death prevention, mostly sensors and sirens, proven to save lives, into woke green ESG nonsense.


Not surprising unfortunately.

Climate idiots have blood on their hands.

You said it, bro.

The problem with this sort of ad hominem attack is that it always reflexes back on the sender.

Foods and hurricanes existed way before humans walked this Earth. Being intentionally stupid is a requirement of the left though so checks out.

It is 100% a reality. Our climate has and always will change no matter what humans do. There are way too many factors at hand way outside of human control.

This is true, but humans act as the catalyst thanks to the unabated release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, warming it, which in turn results in increased evaporation and accumulation of more water vapor, a more powerful greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. It's a positive feedback loop.

Wait you think that western diamondbacks are literally roasting to death because the city of Phoenix exist? The 3 hottest days in Phoenix history were over 30 years ago. Do you not realize that the Earth has had cooling and heating phases for all of it's existence even before humans were here?
