  1. Glacial Outflow event (GLOF) above Juneau, Alaska. Spot called "Suicide Basin". (do I have to CW poorly named geological features? 🤔 ))

  2. continuing the thread on the ongoing #Monsoon

    Roughly 300 killed by climate across #Pakistan so far, 100s injured, 1000s of families feeling the effects

    #ClimateChange is here and its a #ClimateCrisis now

    We have all seen the horrific video from #India next door of an entire village being swept away in a #Flood. Same weather systems

    Going to share news only instead of forecasts now, getting too much

  3. Great summarization of where #Pakistan 's changing climate currently stands, by Ali Tauqeer, a #ClimateAction stalwart in the region.

    "intensity of rainfall has increased exponentially, the number of rainy days during the monsoons has decreased"

    "with temperatures up to 8°C above normal .. dramatically increased moisture capacity, setting the stage for devastating downpours. "

  4. Ein #Gletscherseebruch in #Tibet hat im nepalesischen Rasuwa-Tal eine tödliche #Sturzflut ausgelöst.

    Neun Menschen starben, über 20 werden vermisst. Zerstört wurden u. a. drei #Wasserkraftwerke und die wichtige Freundschaftsbrücke.

    Ursache war ein sogenannter #GLOF (Glacial Lake Outburst Flood), verstärkt durch den #Klimawandel.

  5. #ClimateChange and anthropogenic nature destruction in the name of "development" continue to wreck havoc across the most vulnerable areas first.

    And by that I mean mountainous communities in the vicinity of melting #Glaciers. If you live in the Alps or any area classed as a mountain range, I'd be packing up to move to flatter terrain outside flood zones at the foothills.

  6. Durch das #Schmelzen der #Gletscher entstehen weltweit neue Seen.

    Eine Studie der Universität #Potsdam zeigt jedoch, dass sich vor allem kleinere #Gletscherseen entleeren und nicht zwangsläufig größere #Fluten drohen.

    Besonders in den #Alpen, #Peru und #Norwegen wurden Seen künstlich stabilisiert, während in Regionen wie dem #Himalaya oder #Alaska das #Gefahrenpotenzial wächst.
