Lesson learned?
Galchi, Nepal
A mark shows the mud level on a wall in a classroom at Bageshwori secondary school after flash floods in Galchi. The Himalayas – spanning Nepal, India, China, Bhutan and Pakistan – are warming twice as fast as the global average, putting the region at increased risk of avalanches, landslides and floods.Photograph: Manan Vatsyayana/AFP/Getty Images

More frequent #landslides in #mountains are a fact, They are often due to global warming, because deep ice and permafrost are the glue of many rocks in high mountains, such as the Alps.
We cavers are testimonials of another change: in many caves average temperatures are changing of one or more degrees, this is another fact. And that is impacting as well entire ecosystems and deep limestone survival.
Stop madness, and act to manage these changes properly, as soon as possible.
