Nepal glacier disaster intensifies calls for climate justice
Summary
In this episode of Your Call, host Rose Aguilar interviews journalist Jonathan Mingle about the devastating glacier collapse on the Nepal-Tibet border, which has killed over 1,200 people. Mingle discusses how human-caused climate change is accelerating the destabilization of Himalayan glaciers and permafrost, creating new, unpredictable dangers for vulnerable communities. The conversation also highlights the inadequacy of international aid, the withdrawal of US climate monitoring programs, and the concerning decline in mainstream media coverage of climate issues despite rising global risks.
