How rising temperatures fuelled Nepal's deadly glacial flood

Rising global temperatures are causing glaciers in Nepal to retreat and become structurally unstable, sharply increasing the risk of catastrophic collapses and flash floods. Scientists say climate change is a key driver behind the deadly flood that struck Nepal, killing at least 157 people. Mountain communities face growing danger as glacial instability worsens with each degree of warming.
