 Flash #floods in #Sikkim have claimed 14 civilian lives so far, while 102 people are missing, including 22 Army personnel.
The Teesta River in spate has reportedly caused 14 bridges to collapse and stranded over 3,000 tourists in the state.
The flash floods were triggered on Wednesday by a glacial lake outburst due to incessant rains, which breached the Chungthang dam, Sikkim's largest hydropower project.

 Stephen Schwartz: "OTD 55 years ago at Mururoa Atoll in the South Pacific, France conducted Procyon, its second thermonuclear weapon test. The device was attached to a tethered balloon ~2,300 feet above the lagoon and the yield was 1.28 Megatons. This test produced significant radioactive fallout."

 So true. 

A Professor Eliot Jacobson post on 7 September, 2023, screenshot:
"To be a doomer you don't have to exaggerate warming, speculate about feedback loops and tipping points, believe huge methane releases from permafrost are imminent or think 400 nuclear power plants will melt down.

All you have to do is understand overshoot and where we are today."
