Iโve spent many weeks doing fieldwork in Tibet, sitting above these enormous, deeply incised Himalayan river systems and seeing firsthand just how geologically active this landscape is.
So spare me the climate-change grift every time a natural disaster strikes.
Catastrophic glacial outburst floods are not new. The 1981 Zhangzangbo GLOF released ~20 million mยณ of water and debris into Nepal, with estimated peak discharge approaching 16,000 mยณ/s. The Himalayas experienced enormous GLOFs long before today's atmospheric COโ concentrations.
If it happened naturally in the past, we should expect it to happen naturally again in the futureโregardless of atmospheric COโ.
Turning a horrific loss of life into an immediate climate-change narrative without demonstrating that COโ caused this particular event isn't attribution. It's opportunism.
And the people exploiting tragedy to do it are grifters.
@LifeNewsHQ 20Woe to those who call what is bad, good, and what is good, bad, who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. 21Woe to those who think themselves wise and believe themselves enlightened.

"The offender is separated from the Body and Blood of Christ and the society of Christians, invoking the judgment of God and the authority of the Church until the person repents."
During a church service, the pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for answered prayers.
Suzie stood and walked to the podium. She said, โTwo months ago, my husband, Phil, had a terrible bicycle accident and his scrotum was crushed.โ
There was a muffled gasp from the men in the congregation.
โPhil was unable to hold me or the children,โ she went on, โand every move caused him terrible pain. We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation, and they were able to reconstruct the crushed remnants of Philโs scrotum, using wire to reinforce and shape it.โ
The men in the congregation cringed and squirmed uncomfortably.
โNow,โ she announced in a quivering voice, โthank the Lord, Phil is out of the hospital and the doctors say that with time, his scrotum should recover completely.โ All the men sighed with relief.
The pastor rose and asked if anyone else had something to say.
A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium. He said, โIโm Phil.โ
The entire congregation held its breath.
โI just want to tell my wife the word is sternum.โ
