Glacier melt is past the tipping point in the Canadian Rockies and that's a big problem

Climate change is causing glaciers around the world to recede at an alarming rate. The loss of Rocky Mountain glaciers will affect the Prairie’s freshwater supply — and that’s a big problem.

B.C. landslide triggered 100-metre tall lake tsunami, study shows | CBC News

What started as a massive landslide triggered a tsunami, which in turn sent a vast torrent of water or "outburst flood" down a valley, leaving the landscape devastated in its wake.
