The Quiet Place (2024)
(Actually only half true. More up close, glaciers are full of the most amazing sounds... yet from this distance, higher up, all you can hear is the wind and your own breath/heartbeat...)

"In the Pakistan-administered...Kashmir region...communities are turning to the Indigenous practice of glacier grafting, known locally as Gang Khswa, to combat water scarcity and adapt in the face of climate change."

#ClimateDiary I watched my village disappear in an instant.
“When I finally reached someone — an elder brother’s house — it was his wife who answered. “There’s nothing left in the village,” she said simply. “Most of the people are gone.”
I couldn’t make myself believe it. Sole and Tupche sit nearly a hundred metres above the riverbed. No flood in living memory — in centuries, as far as anyone knew — had ever reached that high.” #Nepal #Glacier

Good reporting again by APN

Draws the climate connection to other recent events in the same region, and to the Himalaya as a whole where #glacier melt has doubled since 2000.
Many hydro power plants are located in the mountains, in areas now especially vulnerable to rockslides and glacial lake outbursts. Risk of dam collapse increases, threatening communities downriver, and electricity generation counting on hydro output is no longer a viable grid strategy.
All thanks to Exxon's lies and our corrupt politicians and media.

‘I can’t work in the farce of #climatechange cruise tourism anymore’: why Antarctic guides quit their dream jobs
“You’d see massive #glacier calvings, and you’d just want to cry. But all the guests would be cheering. And you’d be like … ‘can you not put two and two together?’”

Fonndalen liegt als breites Trogtal über dem Holandsfjord. Hier wird deutlich, wie weit sich der Gletscher schon zurückgezogen hat. Die glatten Felswände und alten Moränenkämme verraten, wo früher Eis lag und welche Linien der ehemalige Gletscher in die Landschaft gezeichnet hat.
