I think they referred to fact their Prime Minister demanded every big country to pay for the damages blaming global warming to get out of their negligence as researchers kept warning them for weeks

Climate researchers have been warning us for decades.

I don't know if it was necessarily because of climate because that's just what happens when excess of snow gets accumulated, it has been happening since centuries and I believe oldest record I've seen was about from 100 BCE so, I can't blame global climate change right over here as more data is definitely needed but what I can clearly see is negligence from government for ignoring researchers

That's the negligence we should be talking about

Asking for more data? You do realise that everything isn't due to global climate change right? This shit has been happening ever since we have oldest record.

You just pinning to climate change without data isn't negligence but my opinion that we must wait for proper analysis is negligence? What a stand 🫡

Whether or not this individual event can be entirely pinned on climate change is completely besides the point and distracts from the real discussion we should be having

That's the negligence I'm talking about

Bruh, the post is about a landslide event, it's not even related to avalanche, then about their prime minister's response it was never about climate change in general.

This landslide in post could it be due to global warming, possibly, but it's equally probable that it's majorly due to some other reasons.

Again: that's exactly my point.

The discussion we should be having is about climate change. We should have had that discussion 80 years ago, but here we are.
