Climate-Driven Disaster: What Caused the Massive Floods in Nepal?

It was a typical Wednesday morning when the border area between Nepal and China's Tibet in the Himalayas was instantly submerged in water.

It is estimated that at least 160 people lost their lives, and more than 1,300 people remain missing.

Contact has also been lost with nine South Korean nationals.

This massive flood that struck the border region of Nepal and Tibet is presumed to have been caused by the collapse of a gigantic glacial lake.

We analyze whether this disaster was brought on by extreme weather triggered by global warming.

And we hope that all the missing people safely return to the arms of their families.
