TOUS 4723 Au Nepal le changement climatique a contribue aux inondations meurtrières

The retreat of glaciers and the thawing of permafrost are thought to have weakened mountain slopes, contributing to the landslides that triggered the floods. However, researchers emphasize that the phenomenon also stems from geological factors.
