LIVE: Swiss Glacier Collapse Buries Entire Village, Sparks Climate Alarm | Planet Pulse | N18G

A massive glacier collapse in the Swiss Alps has devastated the Alpine village of Blatten, burying nearly 90% of it in ice, rock, and mud. One man is missing, and search efforts are ongoing. The Birch Glacier had shown signs of instability for days, prompting the evacuation of 300 residents. Authorities say the collapse involved over three million cubic metres of debris. Experts link the disaster to accelerating glacier melt driven by climate change—Swiss glaciers have lost 10% of their volume in just two years. Officials warn this rare but destructive event may become more common as global temperatures rise. Watch the video to know more.

Polar ice caps grew the last 10 years ,,so we dont control the climate either way. Its all about control of the masses!@

India is the world's 3rd largest pollutive country because lack of knowledge about global warming.😢

Hope all peoples of the village have been evacuated before😮

Fight climate change is the most stupid idea. After destroying the climate humans are going to fight it. Nice.

Re the glacier. Totally incorrect information. Tell the real story shame on you.

CLIMATE has been changing for millions of years! WTF are you talking about?

Every time the sun goes through its natural cycles we have climate change not caused by human activity some of it can be blamed on volcano farts !!!

They were all evacuated days before the collapse, news can be decieving.

Thank you for an interesting program, Planet Pulse. Looking forward to hearing the final outcomes of the detailed investigations the world over in regard to the impact of climate change and any other causes, on the health and wellbeing of humans, animals, nature and livelihoods. The drastic climate changes in the Global South and East may often go unnoticed in the West🙏🧘‍♀️☮️
