Extreme climate events in the Himalayas

As of now no direct causal link has been established between global warming and the collapse on August 26 of a 600 metre section of the Langtang Lirung peak of the Langtang Himal mountains in Nepal, close to the Tibetan border. These mountains have glaciers which are melting because of global warming. The slope failure at a height of over 5000 metres led to a break in the mountains and a collapse of the glacier situated over it. This colossal amount of rock and ice fell about 1200 metres on to a non-glaciated valley through which the Lhende Khola river runs. The fall generated a seismic wave of 5.2 magnitude on the Richter scale. The rocks, ice, water and debris moved along the river with ever increasing speed and then to lower river valleys causing devastating floods which swept everything in their path. As I write these lines media reports indicate that the death toll has reached 1252 and several thousands are missing. While scientists will determine the exact cause of this terrible slope failure, the fact of the hugely negative impact of climate change due to global warming cannot be denied. This is leading to the melting of polar ice and of glaciers. The Hindukush-Himalayan region contains the largest amount of glacial ice after the polar regions. This is a serious matter not only for the Himalayan countries but also for those in South Asia and China. It is leading to extreme climate related events every year threatening human life and habitations. It requires a concerted effort on the part of most of these countries to mitigate the consequences of climate change because of the retreat of glaciers. Regrettably that is unlikely because of political reasons. Hence, what is more likely is that extreme climate events in the Himalayas, which are already fragile in many ways, will continue to adversely impact the Himalayan countries and also most South Asian ones. At one time many Western countries thought that climate change would impact more those located in the worlds other regions than they. However, extreme climate events in the US and Europe in the past few decades have taken place regularly and with increasing intensity. These include heat waves which induce wild fires. Intense hurricanes too have caused considerable destruction especially in the United States. This should have led the important Western states to be in the forefront to combat the impact of climate change. However, that has not been so. Indeed, US President Donald Trump is a climate skeptic. He believes that the idea of anthropogenic climate change is a hoax. Consequently, he has pulled the US out of international arrangements to combat climate change. In addition he is a great advocate of the use of hydrocarbons and instead of promoting renewable energies his approach is encapsulated in the words Dig baby dig for more and more hydrocarbons in the US which is now the worlds largest producer of oil and gas. As noted in these columns in the past the universal struggle against climate change has to be led by the worlds highest per capita emitter among the major economies, the US, but when that country itself abandons the responsibility to stop global warming then it has a rippling effect on others. Consequently, no other advanced country wants to take meaningful steps, despite their protestations to the contrary, to effectively stop the emission of greenhouse gases which lead to the warming of the planet. There is another factor. While the human population on the planet was 1.8 billion a little more than a hundred years ago it is now well over 8 billion. This has been an unprecedented growth in human history. Along with the rise in numbers human beings are now demanding greater prosperity. This is a perfectly justified desire. The shining example for the Global South therefore is the advanced world with all its material progress. Now that progress has been based in one critical respect on greater energy provided by hydrocarbons. And hydrocarbons lead to greenhouse gases which in turn leads to global warming, the principal reason for climate change. The obvious way out is to rely both more on renewable energy and modify life styles. This the advanced countries, especially, the US, are unwilling to do. Nor are they really willing to help the Global South to adapt to and to mitigate the consequences of climate change. Again, as noted earlier in these columns, the history of universal efforts to stop the rise in greenhouse gases is littered with the broken promises and pledges of the advanced world. They have sought to shift the frame from the historic responsibility that they bear from their shoulders to the poorer countries. In doing so they do not care if the Global South remains poor. Of course they make great pledges and have assistance programmes but these are all meaningless because they do not wish to undertake any steps that will mean a change in their extravagant lifestyles. They preach to the poorer countries that they must be aware of the ill effects of climate change and therefore adopt policies which in effect will retard their progress but they are unwilling to take real steps that will lead to making an impact on reducing the emission of greenhouse gases that will prevent the rise in global temperatures which are already around 1.5 % Celsius beyond pre-industrial levels. Climatologists have warned that such a rise in temperature will bring about irreversible changes in the planet leading inter alia to an increase in extreme climate events. That is the sad reality that the human race confronts today.
