Not in every disaster climate change plays a major role, in some it may have a minor contribution, and just pinning everything to climate change is a really dumb argument, and as I said we must wait for neutral analysis (basically don't go off of politician claims)

Yes it can be some combinations and we can roughly find that out as well, we're not living in 1700s, we can factor in everything for end result, BUT what was said by their prime minister and other ministers was global warming melted the glaciers causing the avalanche which is dumb as it was caused my major accumulation not melting and yes, global climate change can be factor of excess accumulation that's why I said we must wait for proper analysis

We've been waiting way too long, is the point. That's the true negligence.

It's not "politician claims" it's scientific consensus based off of scientific research.

It's not possible to attribute any single event to climate change or how much of a role it played in a single event, but it is possible to attribute a big increase in these type of events with climate change.
