"Nepal is owed s'thing more substantial than sympathy & more useful than a loan charging interest on damage it did not cause.Monitoring of unstable ice & glacial lakes [..] should be funded on a standing basis, with hydrological data crossing borders as a matter of routine rather than negotiation."

“The fish list here reads more like an aquarium shop catalogue. To claim these are part of the coastal or marine environment surrounding Indira Point is completely fabricated,” said Vardhan Patankar, a senior marine biologist. scroll.in/article/1095...

A powerful & haunting read "maps proliferate showing a wash of deep red over the subcontinent.[..]these maps alone say little about local weather conditions[..]There are no people in these maps: no at-risk groups, no grandmothers or blast-furnace workers, no solutions to adapt to a burning world.."

The source of the flood in Nepal is a collapsed glacier 🧪⚒️

There has been a truly horrific flood in Nepal this morning (you can go search for videos). Let's be careful not to jump to conclusions about the trigger until we have visual confirmation. This is unlikely to have been a glacial lake outburst flood. 🧪⚒️

💵 This was supposed to be “at least $20bn per year” by 2025 in finance for conservation. This is where we’re at now.
