Nepal floods

The gigantic floods that swept Nepal that has swallowed habitats, towns, bridges and big buildings with massive deaths and missing people including visitors has been likely caused by a collapsed glacier, ostensibly the fall-out of global warming. There are risks of more floods as a lake of rising water has formed at the Nepal-China border. Climate changes leading to long-term shifts, precipitated by human activities burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas are now paying the price. Emissions have to be cut in half by 2030 and consumption of fossil fuels need to be cut by 30 per cent to save natural eco-systems. It is a grim warning to the whole world standing on the brink of massive disaster.
