Watch this video as Firstpost explores the possible link between climate change and floods in Nepal. Climate change is accelerating extreme weather patterns across the Himalayas, turning Nepal’s fragile high-altitude landscape into a front line for devastating disasters. Thawing at double the global average speed, the region’s ancient glaciers and frozen permafrost are rapidly destabilising. Experts say this environmental breakdown could have culminated in a massive mountainside collapse, sending a devastating wall of ice, mud, and rock rushing into the valleys below. Entire towns were erased within seconds, leaving over 1,200 dead and thousands swept away in the churning currents. Though Nepal contributes virtually nothing to global carbon pollution, its mountain communities are bearing the brunt of the planetary warming crisis. As unstable peaks continue to shear off, this disaster signals a terrifying shift from subtle environmental warnings to immediate, irreversible loss of life and land. Gursshheen Gahllen brings you the details on Planet Pulse.
