#ClimateChange and anthropogenic nature destruction in the name of "development" continue to wreck havoc across the most vulnerable areas first.

And by that I mean mountainous communities in the vicinity of melting #Glaciers. If you live in the Alps or any area classed as a mountain range, I'd be packing up to move to flatter terrain outside flood zones at the foothills.

I often remark to friends about #Pakistan 's mountainous north being unsuitable for life now thanks to #ClimateChange induced melting, flooding, and landslides.

The #Karakorum #Highway the world's highest such motorway connecting Pak to #China should be thought of a "seasonal" road now, gets washed away on an annual basis, sometimes more frequently.

We cannot afford to rebuild every year!

Further north, in #Pakistan 's mountainous province of #GilgitBaltistan, a #heatwave the past week has cause #FlashFlood and #GLOF or a Glacial Lake Outburst Flow, a wall of water that floods down mountains once it's ice wall melts and breaks like a dam.

GLOFs have become "common" in Northern Pakistan in the past decade, washing away infrastructure, towns and farms almost annually.

Fluten wegen schmelzender Gletscher in Pakistan

In #Pakistan haben schmelzende #Gletscher in der nördlichen Bergregion #Gilgit-Baltistan ganze Dörfer überschwemmt. Eine extreme #Hitzewelle brachte die Eisflächen zum Schmelzen, wie ein Sprecher der Rettungsbehörden der dpa mitteilte. Das Wasser habe Häuser und landwirtschaftliche Flächen zerstört, Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner seien in Sicherheit gebracht worden.
