A disaster occurred on August 26 at the border between Nepal and Tibet, where a massive amount of ice and rock detached from a high-altitude location. This material then fell more than 1,000 meters, triggering an avalanche. The avalanche was followed by a debris flow that traveled many kilometers along rivers and streams in the region. Initial reports suggested an earthquake might have caused the event, but further analysis shows that the seismic activity recorded was actually the result of the collapse itself, according to the United States Geological Survey. While the exact cause of the collapse is still under investigation, climate change is likely playing a role. As a climatologist, I note that global warming is significantly altering high-altitude environments, particularly the cryosphere — regions where water is in solid form, such as glaciers and ice caps. These changes can compromise the stability of mountain ranges, increasing the likelihood of such events. In Nepal, the disaster has sparked discussions about the role of climate change in natural disasters. While the country blames climate change for increasing such risks, it also aims to revitalize its tourism industry. One house that survived the disaster has become a point of interest, attracting visitors eager to take selfies and learn about the event. The catastrophe has had global repercussions, drawing attention to the vulnerability of mountainous regions to climate-related hazards. The Italian newspaper Il Manifesto, founded in 1969, is known for its left-leaning stance and distinctive, often provocative headlines. The paper is run by its journalists, who all receive the same salary, and it has faced several financial difficulties over the years. In 2006, it launched a major fundraising campaign, with singer Loredana Berté contributing 20,000 euros. Further financial struggles followed in 2008–2009, and in 2012, the newspaper was placed under judicial administration by the Italian Ministry of Economy. Despite these challenges, Il Manifesto was one of the first Italian dailies to launch a website in 1995, allowing readers to access the latest edition and weekly articles online.
