"[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?

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.

Rescue teams were working to reach 933 hydropower workers missing at 11 project sites in Nepal's Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts, with some believed trapped in tunnels blocked by mud and debris. About 10,000 Nepali troops were deployed alongside tunnel specialists from China and India.

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 downstream, affecting populated areas along the Trishuli and Bhote Koshi rivers.

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.

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.

Nepali officials blew it by dragging their feet on tunnel rescues for hydropower workers and left hundreds to die when fast foreign help could have pulled them out alive. The slow start wasted critical time in those mud choked sites and cost lives that better planning would have saved. This mess shows the government cannot handle big disasters without outside experts jumping in right away.

This mess shows the government cannot handle big disasters without outside experts jumping in right away.

International aid came in fast and experts were sent to back Nepal after this flood wrecked power plants and left thousands missing. Rebuilding those sites smarter with better locations and warnings is the only way to cut future losses instead of repeating the same risks. American help proves outside support works when local systems fall short on big jobs.

Climate change is fueling glacial collapses that wipe out Nepal hydropower plants and trap hundreds of workers in tunnels. Entire communities vanish in minutes leaving over 900 dead and thousands missing. Nepal must abandon these risky projects before more lives are lost.

Nepal hydro projects failed due to poor siting in flood zones and need smarter rebuilding with backups and early warnings. US aid under Trump is delivering millions to rescue Americans and restore power without repeating past mistakes. Decentralized solar beats these vulnerable tunnels every time.
