A glacier in Uttarakhand, India, broke and caused a deadly flood in the Himalayas.
United Nations experts have warned that the deadly flood in northern India, sparked by a cratering glacier, was not an isolated incident but the result of a rapidly warming planet. They warn the disaster, which has left many feared dead, is a precursor of what is to come unless drastic measures are taken to slow climate change.
