In the Swiss Alps, at least one person is missing after a glacier collapsed, burying most of the village of Blatten. Experts had been monitoring the situation for weeks, as chunks broke off the side of the mountain, piling up on the glacier below. Nine million tons of debris was eventually too much. We spoke to climate policy specialist Henna Hundal in Stanford, California.

About The Author
There is an error in our guest's name insert. Her name is Henna Hundal.
I would guess that this is just the start of the problems that this village will have to face with so much loose dirt in the middle of it.
wow those snippets of the glacier collapse brought back memories of the National Geographics article on Mt. St Helens blowing its top from 1980. That was a spectacular event.
This is like being on the Titanic with its bow descending as it is sinking, and having someone ask, if the root cause is the 70 meter gash in the side of the ship. You 'aint seen nothing yet! "…climate change…be potentially irreversible"…hahahaha…hilarious! The cast is die…and only a fraction of our herd will survive what is coming…as the planet becomes uninhabitable for us.
Is this woman an AI generated image
Alas!… I am so sorry for the Swiss people
Climate Policy Specialist lady spoke so quickly…i did nt understand what she was trying to say!!!!
I saw a similar expression on a young woman at 2:20 in a half-hour adult film yesterday.😮 It is so big!😂😂
How did she get this job???
That girl is AI
Deswegen nur Blau 🥶🥶🥶
If you want to restrict your expertise to local experts only… tune in to local channels only. You will be guaranteed that. DW does a great job of covering a wide array of global events with both local and global experts.
That's weird 🤔 it's happening in Switzerland… Why don't bring some specialized stuff from Switzerland 🙁,,??
I'm sure even the police man over there has knowledge about it from the government…
Anyway it's DW… Always related with USA
Global temperature has risen now for 18 000 years. If we don't adapt it will lead to disasters. But WE have to adapt. Not the climate.
What eyes! Is she mad about something?
"human induced climate change" 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅
Should we all stop drivings cars or should we stop building villages in tight valleys under glaciers?
Jesús is the chief architect of the planet earth and all the stars in the universe
This is the most responsible government response to a disaster that I have ever seen. This should serve as an exemplary strategy, for the world over, of how to do it. ❤
Rising temperatures hahahaha explain Antartica – stop with the BS
Polar shift
2:20 👁👄👁
Seriously? Someone from the US would know better? Uhh, her tone and accent bothers me!
Go ask the locals and the fire brigade ..
Climate change? What a dumbkopf! That's nothing to do with this glacier collapse. It was due to part of the mountain starting to sheer off and dumping millions of tonnes of rock onto the glacier. FWIW, glaciers have been in retreat in the Alps since about 1867, long before much fossil fuel was being used. Still, who cares about the truth when people will just believe nonsense? The presenter certainly doesn't.
It wasn't the glacier – it was the friggin mountain that fell on top of it!
Nice that you are reporting on it but seriously this expert was a total miss! She had no knowledge of the state of Swiss mountains and didn't remotely answer the questions. Embarrassing. Yes, these events are occuring more frequently in Switzerland albeit not at this scale. Hiking and climbing routes are more frequently because of it and landslides keep happening. We would have had many experts in Switzerland, local and foreign to report on this incident and answer your questions.
Content flow here – Oh, a scary avalanche, thank Thank god people are safe and not in a negative mind, Ooh a cow flies!, God, what's wrong with this woman!
Let’s not forget that everything started with a massive landslide. The glacier collapsed because it could not hold the enormous about of material that fell onto it.
Not climate change it’s solar activity effected the mountain cracked and is slipping the material built up on the glacier and it’s that that brought it down , the mountain has to come down still
Glad to hear people were evacuated to safety .
This girl sounds like a robot 😊
Yes climate change is a factor but I want more coverage than the same climate change proselytizing we hear over and over and over. Interview some locals
Her eye wided look…is very modern.
Lol.
Panda bears have it too.
Nonsense ! Climate changes ,of course. but there is no evidence that humans are the cause .Climate always changes .
Why build there?
@dwnews, Why did you erase my comment? Is free speech not allowed in your comment section? Here it goes again:
"Oh… mainstream media… how far will you go?
It's amazing how an enormous slope displacement above a glacier (adding more weight to the glacier due to debris) suddenly becomes a climate issue?
Geophysicists and glaciologists studying glacial mass balance and the complex interactions with geomorphological processess must be laughing (or should I say crying?) at the biased and poor quality of news services nowadays, when pseudo-specialists called "climate policy advisors" consciously lose the broader picture and give us 'the science'.
I guess these new trendy jobs jobs just need the usual money flow. Wake up – we are losing hold of truth right here, people."
Any yet the Arctic ice sheet is growing
Nothing to do with climate change this has happened since the beginning of time. HELLO can we all say there was an Ice Age, FACT, and guess what? It melted, FACT! No humans were around.
Thank GOD they evacuated!
Why interviewee this BOT,? You don't have any swiss specialist? She talking nonsense..
The real thing to save our glaciers our mountains our planet is dying – how many villages, how many cities, how many countries can we evacuate
What does an American "expert" really know about Swiss geology? 😮
5:40 300 people lost their homes and she wants to push trump lies. He doesn’t believe in climate change.he doesn’t care about the affects of climate change. Don’t use her again.
I know this is a totally serious topic. I apologize in advance for my comment, but at minute 2:21 the look in the specialist's eyes scared me! The cut felt super abrupt and it was literally a jumpscare for me… Was I the only one? 😅
cowplop
on the climate scammery
… just give us interesting info
on the evacuees and how
threat was detected
