Expert: Glaciers increasingly unstable due to global warming

Following the deadly mudslide that hit Gyirong Port in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, Chinese expert Yao Tandong, who led the country’s second Qinghai-Xizang Plateau scientific expedition, warns that rapid warming is making high-altitude glaciers increasingly unstable – and more likely to collapse. He calls for urgent action: regional risk surveys, closer monitoring of high-risk glaciers and glacial lakes, better modeling of the ice-water-atmosphere interplay, and stronger early-warning and international cooperation. #xizang #tibet #disaster 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
