"[C]limate change is just a very, very expensive form of tax."

"I believe in climate change caused by human beings. What I'm skeptical about is the glib notion that it means the end of the world as we know it."

"The clock is no longer just ticking, it is banging."

"There is no long-term prosperity without action on climate change."

"The time for seeking global solutions [to climate change] is running out."

"The climate crisis is the existential threat. That's not hyperbole; it's a fact."

"[W]e are killing our planet."

Climate change is "above all, an existential crisis."

"Climate change is one of the greatest challenges mankind faces."

"If we don't take action, the collapse of our civilisations and the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon."

"Humanity is on thin ice — and that ice is melting fast."

"We haven't yet exceeded the bounds of viable human civilisation, but we're getting close."

Is Climate Change an Existential Threat?

Rescue teams are working to locate 933 hydropower workers who are missing at 11 project sites in Nepal's Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts following <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.verity.news/story/2026/at-least-dead-over-missing-in-nepaltibet-flash-floods">Wednesday's flash flooding disaster.</a> Some workers are believed to be trapped in tunnels that have been blocked by mud and debris. Approximately 10,000 Nepali troops have been deployed, along with tunnel specialists from China and India, to assist in the rescue efforts.

Rescue teams are working to locate 933 hydropower workers who are missing at 11 project sites in Nepal's Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts following Wednesday's flash flooding disaster. Some workers are believed to be trapped in tunnels that have been blocked by mud and debris. Approximately 10,000 Nepali troops have been deployed, along with tunnel specialists from China and India, to assist in the rescue efforts.

Rescuers reached the entrance of a tunnel at the Trishuli 3A hydropower site on Sunday and began pumping in air, with Nepal's army using drilling machines, excavators and hydraulic cutters. Overnight rain and rising river waters had previously halted operations by flooding the excavation area.

Nepal's disaster agency confirmed 903 deaths in the country as of Monday, with 4,247 people missing, including 592 foreigners. On the Chinese side of the border, authorities reported 16 deaths and 546 missing, with 261 of those being foreign nationals.

<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.verity.news/story/2026/nepal-floods-death-toll-crosses-over-k-still-missing">The disaster was triggered by a glacial collapse near Nepal's border with Tibet</a>, which registered as a magnitude 5.2 seismic event. The resulting torrent traveled roughly 100 kilometers (62 miles) downstream, affecting populated areas along the Trishuli and Bhote Koshi rivers.

The disaster was triggered by a glacial collapse near Nepal's border with Tibet, which registered as a magnitude 5.2 seismic event. The resulting torrent traveled roughly 100 kilometers (62 miles) downstream, affecting populated areas along the Trishuli and Bhote Koshi rivers.

The flood knocked out roughly 10% of Nepal's installed power generation capacity, with 11 hydropower stations and a solar plant halting operations. Nepal's finance minister estimated total losses from the disaster at more than $4 billion.

International aid pledged to Nepal included $3.6 million each from the U.S. and Canada, $6.8 million from the United Kingdom and $2.3 million from the European Union. The Red Cross estimated more than 90,000 people were affected by the disaster.

Climate change is fueling the deadly glacial collapse risk responsible for this catastrophe. Nepal must abandon risky hydropower projects in these vulnerable areas before more lives are lost.

Climate-concerned narrative

Nepal's hydro projects failed due to poor planning, lack of redundancy and inadequate early warnings — often exacerbated by poor USAID decision-making. There must be a more thoughtful investigation into the international development aspects of this disaster and not knee-jerk climate alarmism.
