Crazy how nature can basically make a town dissappear in the blink of an eye.
Good think they at least saw it coming.
Only one person missing since they evacuated the town a few days earlier.

Reminds me of Frank Slide. Always hated driving through that as a kid because you still have a mountain with it's face missing and tons of debris on both sides of the highway so as a kid my brain would go into these mountains could fall on me at any moment mode while still having more than one hour of driving through them 
Even creepier is most of the 70+ dead are still buried under the rocks.
en.m.wikipedia.org
And that is after more than 100 years when parts have been cleared away so I can't imagine what it was like in the immediate aftermath.
At least in this case the town was evacuated in time other than the one missing person.

Holy shit.
Good thing they could evacuate in advance.

By in this case I meant the Swiss Village the thread is about knew and evacuated not Frank. In modern times the warning stations and early alert systems can give advance warnings something could happen to hopefully avoid casualties but even then these things can happen without warning. Even in the case of this Swiss village I don't think they had evacuated with the initial landslide that damaged the glacier and evacuated after that because of concerns the landslide made the glacier unstable.
Although interestingly with Frank there are stories of the Indigenous people that had been in the area for thousands of years telling them not to build the coal mining village where they did because of the mountain that slid.
'That mountain is shaking': First-of-its-kind assessment considers Indigenous stories
A first-of-its-kind report considers both Indigenous and academic knowledge in its finding that mountains are essential sources of water for many downstream communities and homes to plants, animals and people.

Authorities were tipped off by monitoring systems. The day of the event, locals were also apparently hearing noises that some described as sounding like thunder coming from the glacier.

If people spreading nonsense think glaciers are melting for 'natural reasons,' it's strange how nature started acting exactly like CO₂ models predicted decades ago
Maybe spend less time on Facebook and more time looking at real science

Yes, over a timeframe of tens to hundreds of thousands of years. Not the decades we are seeing now.

Correct, because man made climate change doesn't care if you believe in it or not, it's real and here.

Climate change happens occurs naturally in shorter time frames. That's why historians and climatologist speak about the:
Roman Warm Period (~250 BCE – 400 CE)
Late Antique Little Ice Age (~536 – 660 CE)
Medieval Warm Period (~950 – 1250 CE)
Little Ice Age (~1300 – 1850 CE)
Modern Warming Period / Anthropocene Warming (1850 – present)
And even during that "Modern Warming Period" we had a few decades where the temperature was going down gradually for so long that there was fear of a new ice age.

All of which, bar the modern temperature increase, were regional phenomena and not the entire global average changing so rapidly. The modern warming period is also rapidly accelerating with the 10 warmest years in the historical record having all occurred in the past decade
They had several smaller events and evacuated the town days before because they predicted such an event.

Just amazing.
None of the before and after images are aligned very well so it's difficult to get the extent of the destruction but this is where I think it got up to.
I think the rest suffered flooding after because it blocked a river and created a lake.

It has been a political subject for a long while. Especially when the person I quoted specifically mentioned "leftist", what exactly do you gather from that? Is he meaning left side of the world? Left handed people? Or... Politically left people, maybe?
Science makes up inherently everything, including even war, but that doesn't make it less political.
Not a single person on GAF doesn't already have an opinion on Climate change. None. Because it's an issue every person has been exposed to, thanks to... Politics.
I just can't stand that in near any tragedy (including even mass casualty at the hands of people or nature), there is always a jump right into the hot button rather than just digesting of what happened. Especially when 99% of the time the assumption isn't founded on science (do we even know that this event was due to climate change?)
It's just my 02. Take from it what you will.

Town was evacuated and mainly a AirBnB hotspot.
And it was part of the mountain cracking and falling that caused the glacier to crack and collapse.

Look, let's keep this civil and non-political you right wing conspiracy climate denying xenophobic bigot. This is purely science.
Volcanos are releasing heat FROM right wingers causing global warming.
And you are responsible for this town and Atlantis being unexisted now. Great going.
This is just science discussion, not political at all. Anybody who thinks opposite is the true gaslighter.

Damn, you're right, we just need to tax the western world more with more new taxation avenues and that will solve all the problems.
Just don't worry about India, China or the like. We don't share their air.

Fixed it for you.
China and India are technological marvels that far surpassed the colonizers who relied on the backs of *insert brave group here*.
All the conolonizers did was GLOBAL WARMING and WAR.
