and it's gonna be all over, but so fucking unpredictable. one thing I was reading is about the UK and Europe scrambling to add AC to thousands of homes that never needed it, and now people must have it or the fatalities start climbing.

AND, the potential collapse of the AMOC, a current that circulates warm water to colder parts, bringing nutrient rich water around the north atlantic - and if / when it stops, europe is gonna freeze - like, average temps will drop 10c and they may no longer be able to grow grain.

basically, climate change is gonna fuck us all coming and going, and, we still haven't even laid off the CO2 gas pedal, especially in the US, fuck, we're still racing cars in circles for funsies.

we're so fucking stupid it hurts to think some days.

Due to all the disaster videos shown during reporting, I stayed away from news reports about this catastrophe. I was confused about the related earthquake I heard about. I was looking for confirmation that the avalanche caused the seismic event instead of the other way around. In short a good, if semi-paywalled, report about the facts and hypotheses.

Yes, if things to come are water insecurity for 2 billion people due to a loss of on land glacial melt.

Here’s a very informative video from a Geologist about this (TheGeoModels YT Channel):

“How did the Nepal debris flow get so big, and what's important about the Border Port video?”
