Ge\u00f3logos y expertos en clima se\u00f1alan que la regi\u00f3n se est\u00e1 calentando mucho m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido que el promedio mundial, lo que provoca el r\u00e1pido retroceso de los glaciares, generando enormes avalanchas y deslizamientos de tierra que desv\u00edan el curso de los r\u00edos y causan las inundaciones repentinas. El desastre, que arras\u00f3 comunidades enteras, puentes y centrales hidroel\u00e9ctricas, desbord\u00f3 los sistemas de alerta temprana, y las estaciones de monitoreo quedaron destruidas antes de que se pudieran emitir los avisos. Sunil Acharya, especialista en clima y pol\u00edticas p\u00fablicas de Nepal, calific\u00f3 la inundaci\u00f3n como un &quot;ejemplo flagrante de injusticia clim\u00e1tica&quot;. Inst\u00f3 a las naciones responsables del cambio clim\u00e1tico, como Estados Unidos, a brindar ayuda urgente a Nepal, pa\u00eds que contribuye con menos del zero punto uno por ciento de las emisiones mundiales de carbono. Esta es la tercera gran inundaci\u00f3n repentina que sufre la regi\u00f3n en un a\u00f1o. La cordillera del Himalaya ha perdido casi un tercio de su hielo en tres d\u00e9cadas.   &amp;nbsp;   On Tuesday, a glacial collapse triggered flash floods along the Nepal-Tibet border, leaving more than five hundred people confirmed dead and over fifteen hundred missing, in total affecting an estimated ninety three thousand people. Geologists and climate experts say the region is warming much faster than the global average, leading to the rapid retreat of glaciers, which cause massive avalanches and landslides, displacing rivers and causing the flash floods. The disaster, which swept away entire communities, bridges, and hydropower stations, overwhelmed early warning systems, and monitoring stations were destroyed before alerts could be issued. Sunil Acharya, a climate and public policy specialist in Nepal, called the flood a &quot;glaring example of climate injustice.\u201d He called on the nations responsible for climate change, such as the US, to provide urgent help to Nepal, which contributes less than zero point one percent of global carbon emissions. This is the third major flash flood in the region in one year. The Himalaya mountain range has lost nearly a third of its ice in three decades.
