„Plângem pentru muntele nostru”: Dezastrul inundațiilor din Nepal s-ar putea repeta pe Mont Blanc, din cauza schimbărilor climatice

Record heat waves in Europe this summer have severely impacted the permafrost in the Mont Blanc massif, leading to rockfalls and dangerous conditions for climbers. The melting permafrost, which has held the alpine landscape together for millennia, is now destabilizing due to rising temperatures. Local officials express concern over the increasing frequency of rockfalls and the accessibility of climbing routes. The average temperature on Aiguille du Midi has reached unprecedented levels, raising alarms about future disasters. Climate change is believed to have contributed to recent flooding in Nepal and China, highlighting the urgent need for communities to prepare for severe scenarios.
