Nuno Formigo, a specialist in Ecology and Environment from the University of Porto, warned that similar situations to the Nepal tragedy will probably occur within a few days. The specialist commented on the recent events in the Asian country, where a glacial avalanche caused deaths and destruction.
According to Formigo, climate change is the main cause for this type of phenomenon. The specialist explained that climate changes cause faster melting, which significantly increases the risk of catastrophic events like the one that occurred in Nepal.
The article does not provide additional details about the specific causes of the avalanche in Nepal or the number of victims, focusing mainly on the statements by the Portuguese specialist and the connection to the effects of climate change on glacial melting.
