SOUNDBITE (Chinese, dubbed in English) Liu Qiao, professor, Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences: "The slurry moves extremely fast. The ice reduces friction and helps lift and carry the debris, making the whole mass flow much faster. Once it enters the river, large amounts of meltwater add even more force, sending the flow downstream with destructive impacts."

The key is to slow the pace of global warming. Cutting greenhouse gas emissions is the fundamental solution. But even then, some changes are already underway." ++SHOT OVERLAYING SOUNDBITE++ Gyirong County, Xigaze City, Xizang Autonomous Region, southwest China - Aug 27, 2026 (CCTV - No access Chinese mainland) 5.

Animation showing how glacier collapse triggers massive mudslide Storyline Environmental experts say that glacial disasters such as the one which led to the devastating mudslide at the China-Nepal border region are becoming more frequent and severe amid global warming, as they warn of grave consequences unless more action is taken to slow the pace of climate change. The mudslide struck the Gyirong Port, a major China-Nepal land border crossing in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, on Wednesday morning. As of Sunday, at least 16 people had been confirmed dead while 546 others remained missing on the Chinese side, according to the latest official figures, while the death toll on the Nepalese side has risen to 794, authorities said. Satellite imagery and analysis by Chinese geological experts suggest that a high-altitude glacier collapsed in Nepal, triggering the massive mudslide. After the glacier collapsed, it was not just ice that came down. …
