Yesterday's flash in the Grand Canyon was caused by heavy thunderstorms over fire-ravaged land. Similar to the glacial collapse that caused the horrific destruction in Nepal last week, both of those risk factors become more common and severe with global climate change.

This may surprise you, but the Grand Canyon is... in the US. 🤷

This may surprise you, but Nepal isn’t. Yet, you decided to compete with what happened there which is a lot more devastating.

Noting that both flash floods were exacerbated by climate change is neither competing nor comparing devastation levels. But you do you- have a lovely day.
