The largest glacier in the Alps may disappear by 2100. Yet at least not an immediate danger for inhabitants, in contrast to the mountain village of Blatten in canton Valais. On May 28 2025 a huge chunk of a glacier in the Swiss Alps collapsed, causing a deluge of ice, mud and rock to bury most of he village. Fortunately its 300 residents had been evacuated ten days earlier.https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/sci-tech/the-worst-landslides-in-swiss-history/48516038

“This study updates an article published in NHESS journal in 2015 [link above] and investigates long-term changes in landslide-triggering rainfall conditions in Calabria (southern Italy) over 1921–2020. A catalogue of 3,006 rainfall events associated with landslides (RELs) was reconstructed using 9,530 landslide records and daily rainfall measurements from 318 gauges. Rainfall thresholds were calculated for 15 30-year moving windows to investigate the triggering conditions of the RELs. Results show a marked increase in the number of RELs after 2009, shifts in seasonal occurrence, and decreasing rainfall duration and cumulative amounts. Triggering rainfall shows an overall decreasing trend over the years…”

@LaNaehForaday Ummmm... I'd say #BigOilAndGas has done that for them already!
Declassified CIA files reveal secret #WeatherManipulation projects to 'control world'
Previously top-secret CIA files allege that the US plans to control the world by manipulating the weather.
by Olivia Beeson, June 10, 2026
"The documents surrounding weather modification were declassified in 2003, and discuss the tactic of launching rockets or planes to release chemicals into the atmosphere that alter the climate and storm systems.
"These documents resurfaced from 1965, and highlighted how this tactic could be use as a weapon of war in the future.
" 'However, it did not specify what chemicals were used in the experiments.
"The documents stated that federal funding for weather modification was due to be four times higher in 1967 - the year the US began spraying #toxins over #Vietnam to cause #floods and #landslides."

BBC: Ground truth: When the Earth moves, AI can spot it. “In the US, landslides kill 25-50 people each year and cause billions of dollars in damage. Worldwide, they claim thousands of lives annually. Predicting when and where they will happen is incredibly difficult. But developments in AI are making it possible, helping geologists identify thousands of slopes around the world that are at high […]
