  1. Yes, ignorance is dangerous. If you want to do something….we can. Billionaires will not educate you. According to the UN, the cattle industry produces more greenhouse gases than all motorized vehicles. These are especially methane & nitrous oxide (300X more potent than CO2). We can reverse this. Billionaires will not educate you. https://youtu.be/LaPge01NQTQ?is=mldkmXDtcAdi-eV-

  2. Prayer for comfort and courage to all the people who have been affected by this horrific drama. My friend is also missing😢with love and light from South Africa🙏✨

  3. 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 website]

  4. Your talks are good 👍 Despite please 🙏 do come together for desperately needed climate justice to Nepal against huge carbon emitters around the globe.
    # Save Himalayas
    Save Humans Around The Globe#

  5. 🙏 🎉 RIP 🎉 🙏 2 all those who lost their lives in this tragic death. Dear GOD u r the creator u r the destroyer but this is way beyond. Give strength n peace 2 those families who lost their ❤ . My prayers r with these families .🎉🎉🎉

  6. its less about the climate in this case and more about the Geological stability of the mountain itself.
    Now Climate change might have had a part of the disaster but this is not the same as the Drought in Europe this summer.

    The reality is that similar disasters as this has been happening for millenias with the big diffrence that there was no people there to witness it.
    We have to make a diffrence between the diffrent possible ways for Glacial collapses and bedrock breaking off a large mountain.
    then we need to come up with adequate warning systems for these types of event cause we currently have no truly functioning system.

    There is also a huge need for infrastructure in these poorer nations to be highly developed and secured so that it can survive such massive disasters as this type was.
    roads higher up on the slopes built to handle evacuation levels of traffic.
    Tunnels far lower inside the groundrock where the sudden waves cant rip it open.
    Bridges but much higher and much sturdier.
    Houses and important buildings not built close to the rivers in the valleys of Nepal.

    Let us hope this will be a waking call for geological secure infrastructure similar to how the Estonia Disaster was for the security of Ro-Ro Ferries and the international Sea Rescue operations.

  7. NEPAL paid the price for someone else mistake. These CO2 emmision counttry should adress their responsibility for the climate change and compensate Nepal with needed fund to establish INfrastructure. THis world is interconnected. the exploded OIl Depo , Missile have equally contributed to affect Green Hause and World Ecology.

  8. 15:56 'I'm afraid the the laws of physics tell us this is just the opening attractions for what is going to happen in the overheating mountain ranges, not just in in Asia, but Europe, South America, North America as well.'

    It is good that you are covering the climate aspect of this. Be sure to also include some coverage of the super El Niño. A YouTube search for 'El Niño' limited to the last 24 hours gives me results from Channel 4 News (UK), BBC News, Sky News (UK), CBC News, ABC News (Australia), DW News, FRANCE 24, Al Jazeera, Reuters, and AFP, but I am not finding anything from mainstream American media.

  9. Have you Heard of Operation Popeye Project cloud seeding, causing hard rain,mud slides and flooding? Not surprising it being used all in the world. So sorry. Jesus help all and bless all 🙏🙏

  10. We here in India are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of lives and the devastation caused by the flash floods in Nepal. Our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families, and prayers for the speedy recovery of the injured and displaced.
    May all the people affected by this horrible natural disaster find strength and resilience in this difficult hour.🙏

  11. The glacier burst site is more than 4000 meters above the sea level,,most of industrial centres n the world are below 200 meters ,so carbon pollution will effect the environment very slowly,, and glacier will melt slowly from all corners,,a sudden collapse is only possible if base of the glacier gets a sudden impact,, and such impact can happen only through a explosion,,
    : If china is really innocent,it should allow international inquiry team to investigate the site to get to the facts ,and also to find reasons to prevent such disaster in future,,but I am damn sure they won't allow because they are the real culprits.
