While everything can not be linked to Climate Change we must bear this in mind: This is from @IPCC_CH report chapter 2
“Glacier retreat and permafrost thaw are projected to decrease the stability of mountain slopes and + @CarboncopyH @carboncopyinfo
increase the number and area of glacier lakes (high confidence). Resulting landslides and floods, and cascading events, will also emerge where there is no record of previous events (high confidence).” +
“there is high confidence that current global glacier shrinkage caused new lakes to form and existing lakes to grow in most regions, for instance in South America, High mountain Asia and Europe” #ClimateCrisis
“There is also high confidence that the number and area of glacier lakes will continue to increase in most regions in the coming decades, +
and new lakes will develop closer to steep and potentially unstable mountain walls where lake outbursts can be more easily triggered by the impact of landslides”
