The fallout from the collapse of this glacier - a torrent of mud surging down the valley - killed hundreds of people. Gone, in a flash. Those people were wiped out by anthropogenic climate change. Our governments are simply not responding quickly enough to this disaster which is already upon us.

Ugh the climate deniers seem to be successfully intimidating the National Academies so that it keeps climate science out of the information it provides as expert assistance to judges. Scientists who provide research for oil and gas liability cases can produce unbiased work, for god's sake.
GREENWIRE | One of the nation's most respected scientific institutions said Friday it will conduct a review of a disputed climate education chapter in a judicial manual, weeks after President Donald Trump ordered his
administration to investigate the matter. In a post, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine said it will review the process involved in producing the climate science chapter for the fourth edition of the Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence. That review
should conclude by the fall, a spokesperson for the academies said. The Federal Judicial Center, which published the manual, removed the climate science section in January following complaints from Republican attorneys general who accused the authors of siding with efforts to hold oil and gas
companies financially responsible for climate change. The academies at the time declined to also remove the chapter from its website
but said Friday the chapter will not appear on its website during the review. Trump had amplified complaints about the chapter last month, writing in a Truth Social post that he was ordering federal officials with authority over
contracts and grants to look at funding for the National Academies. The National Academies noted that the chapter has "received considerable scrutiny" and has found that "questions about the processes used to develop
the chapter warrant an independent review."
