The village of Blatten, located in Switzerland’s Wallis region, faced a devastating disaster when the Birch Glacier suddenly collapsed. On Wednesday, 3 million cubic meters of ice and debris surged into the valley, blocking the Lonza River and creating a small lake, leaving the village in ruins. One person has been reported missing, but thanks to prior evacuations, no other casualties have been reported.

The climate change denial is the biggest problem in our world. Also the dumbest.
Economic interests will always go first. No matter how many lives are taken, how many villages and cities disappears, all that matters is and will always be the elite getting richer. For them, our lives have no value, our planet has no value as long as their bank account keeps growing. Let's keep it this way. With some luck, our species will be extinct before the planet.
Ah nonsense, there is not sonething lije climate change. I am a scientist and just want to tell you to go and search how nature was 100years ago, 50 years ago and similar things happened. Peooke should stops belueving this lies and conspiracy guys. Science means to proof but in these days people say things and believe everything that is not prooven. Peopke go and build on places in dry seasons and dont know the aeres history😢
The same with peopke building houses on riverbanks, there were floidlines in the past but authorities dont look at these kund of laws anymore.
God is getting very angry with the deeds of mankind with all the wars and huge financial debts going on worldwide in recent times. Therefore, God unleashed the full scale effects of his wrath through good 'O' Mother Nature. Indeed far worse off than an avalanche. Avalanches only happen with heavy snow-blocks breaking apart and crashing down the mountain slopes, but glacier destruction is totally rooted into the soil, rock depths, and collapsing down a mountain slope is tantamount to the forces equivalent to that of a mini-volcanic eruption. Certainly proving global warming on an unprecedented scale. Never before!
it is May. temperatures in 3000 meters these days were around 0. That melting of permafrost caused by climate change sure wasnt the reason.
Climate change??
It was the bikers' fault.
As soon as I heard climate change, I immediately stopped the video and stopped caring. 🤦🏼♂️ this is a natural geological event, not climate change
I find it funny seeing so many non-geologist comments insisting that it is not climate change, while all of the geologist putting out content say that climate change is playing a part. Climate has an enormous effect on geological cycles, since it affects how landscapes erode. Humans have been affecting our landscapes for millennia via deforestation that has allowed incredible erosion to occur. Geologist warned about the effects of farming practices in the central US years before the American dustbowl that meant the loss of many cubic miles/kilometers of topsoil from the Great Plains.
CNN and the BBC should stop broadcasting they make it only worse.
0:26 … NEW FLASH, you idjits.
It's NOT climate change, it's the natural erosion of unstable portions of very steep ranges due to gravity, composition, water and water freeze/thaw. In fact, we're likely entering the Maunder Minimum of colder weather for decades. Your obsessive-compulsive mental illness & ignorance is hilariously nauseating.
All the people saying nothing to do with climate change sigh, of course it is, don’t you realise that there has always been climate change !! Frozen periods, very hot periods, years thousands if not millions of years apart .
All scientist are saying is that climate change is happening faster than it has in the past due to forest being cut down and so much pollution going into the air.
Satellite images of glaciers and the artic Show that they are melting.
The only thing that Climate Change does is cause the sky to fall. 😮
According to Swiss news tagblatt, this is one of the few glaciers that grew in size. And that can lead to this. Very unlikely climate change on a glacier in May… 🙄. Thats ludicrous.
terribile!
every catastrophy getting explained by climate change. 🙄. i'm sick of that. Please do research before coming out with completely ridiculous explanations.
1.) It is May. Temperatures on a glacier which is usually around 3000 meters these days is around 0. So the ice just starts melting. if it were too high temperatures this wouldve happened last year in summer or fall.
2.) according to Swiss tagblatt this is one of the few glaciers that grew. So it wasnt getting smaller as a whole due to warmer temperatures, but grew
3.) growing of a glacier means more snow, more ice, more weigth. And this just might be the reason. It was too snowy or too cold or both.
What was once called global warming is now referred to as climate change. The climate does change over time, it always has. Even before soccer moms drove their SUV's.
'Climate Change' is NOTHING but a narrative.
People näive enough to believe narratives are to be pitied severely.
Orang swis kaya raya , pasti pemerintah sdah menyiapkan bantuan dan tempat tinggal layak untuk warga yg terdampak bencana
It’s 2025 and the footage is 480p smh … condolences to all that lost their homes!
" climate change " is a propaganda trick that is used for many decades, in 90 es they talked about holes in ozone layer , after it was " global warming" now " climate change " .It has nothing to do with happenings in nature and has everything to do with new system of taxation based on imaginary co2 emissions … More control and more power in hands of less and less people …
As soon as climate change was mentioned I was off. Get out of here with that garbage. The freeze/thaw of winter and summer is natural. Ridiculous
Blatten?

The Earth's population is rapidly expanding, this is overpopulation. Burning fossil fuels causes global warming. Lately, there are countless extreme weather events proving this phenomenon. Denying the scientific facts will not solve anything. Jesus is NOT the answer.
Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party shut down all nuclear power plants on the island this month. Now 70% of Taiwan's electricity is generated by burning coal and natural gas.
Pathetic. Please keep the "climate hysteria" out of the reporting.
Its Switzerland. They are not "helpless".
As if the earth was stable, without change, before the Industrial Revolution.🥱
global warming is a lie
Climate change is a scam.
Stop with the “climate change” bullshit.
Blaten has turned into Flaten. Best of luck to these guys.
This is an everchanging planet, always has been and always will be. The climate grifters want to guilt you saying that you are responsible – to control you and take your money for their governments. They dont live by the policies they promote. Its one big game you better get hip to.

It's geology!!!! nothing to do with climate
They should sue China and the US for causing this.
Hats off to the Swiss!! for preventing a great loss of lives …
Of course, "climate change!"…. The mantra of the truly brainwashed!!
Nice to read so many comments from people who know how mountain ranges shed.
It's all a natural (sometimes with a human element) process. Geo-physics!
And yeah… This is just the beginning of what will eventually happen downstream to the river system and valley. All you need to do is look at every drainage channel along that mountain range and it shows you that this has happened MANY times in the past and will continue to happen.
They need to evacuate below the dam and drain that body of water because this will be making it's way to the Rhone.
Was für Devastation Arschloch ?
The mountain above that is fracturing and sending debris to the glacier is what caused this, not climate change.
Welcome to reality. The world isnt peace n love. Its a dangerous cruel place. "Climate change" is garbage human invention in order to capitalize on fear.
Were on a ball in space forever changing. Dont let the scum of this world instill fear in you.
Mustve been horrifically catastrophic for the Ancestors who had no modern tech to monitor and prepare evacuation etc for such a situation . 🇬🇱💔🙏
Of course the Climate Change Cult chimes in with their terror and cries blamed on the climate change. Its just geology and mountains have collapsed for millions of years. it happens. Bunch of cultish woke parrots. As if NO MOuntains would ever dare collapse but for climate change. Whahhhh, bahhhhh oh no whoa begone
We need to blame Trump:))
YES! This has been happening for millions of years. But this doesn’t mean climate change has nothing to do with it. Climate change is also not new. In fact glaciers have always collapsed like this during periods when our climate has become warmer, the way it is today. The issue isn’t whether climate change is at fault. The real question is why is our climate changing faster today than it has ever changed before, making disasters like this more frequent and more devastating. And because we know why our climate is changing faster than it ever has, what can we all do to slow this change?
