Climate narrative ‘obliterated’: Satellite images reveal massive bedrock collapse beneath glacier in Nepal

"For all the usual suspects whining that "climate change" caused the flood in Tibet, it turns out that it was caused by a collapse of the bedrock, not by melting glaciers." Willis Eschenbach (@WEschenbach) / X

Climate narrative ‘obliterated’: Satellite images reveal massive bedrock collapse beneath glacier in Nepal – ‘Turns out that the avalanche was triggered by the collapse of bedrock…not the glacier collapsing itself’ – Climate Depot

. . . "Initial satellite images taken on Wednesday were obscured by clouds and debris, making it possible to determine only that a section of the glacier had broken away from Langtang Lirung peak, near Nepal’s border with Tibet. Images taken the following day provided a clearer picture, showing that the bedrock beneath the glacier had also collapsed.

“It looked like there was not only this glacier that had failed, but a much larger chunk of the bedrock of the mountainside itself that had given way,” Shugar said.

Cook, a geomorphologist at Université Grenoble Alpes in France, said the resulting debris buried villages as it slammed into the valley floor. The steep and narrow terrain allowed the debris to maintain its momentum, while melting ice added to the flow of water and mud." . . .

"What caused the floods?
"Scientists had initially pointed to a glacier burst caused by rapid ice melt as a major factor behind the disaster. The US Geological Survey (USGS), which initially faced reports linking the event to an earthquake, later clarified that it was caused by the “break-off of a glacier”." . . .

Just as with TV preachers; here comes the plea for money, or else.
