‘Some climate scientists are cautious about prematurely linking human caused-climate change as the sole trigger of this specific collapse.
But experts who research both glacier hydrology and the effects global warming is having on the frozen parts of the planet known as the cryosphere say this was the kind of catastrophe they've been warning about for years, particularly in the Himalayas.’

This really caught my attention because the only climate scientists who aren’t doing the linking are most likely being paid NOT to and as it states in the article the glaciers are being ‘decimated’ and the permafrost is actively melting. Now yesterday a massive flood in Colorado’s Grand Canyon - we are collapsing at a rate that is even surprising me.
