Nepal Glacier Collapse & Climate Crisis - Harminder Dhillon - Ranjodh Singh

A sheer mass of ancient glacial ice breaking loose high in the mountains does far more than reshape local geography—it sends shockwaves felt across international seismic networks. In this edition of the Climate Change Special on Radio Haanji, hosts Harminder Dhillon and Ranjodh Singh unpack the recent Nepal glacier collapse climate crisis. Moving past vague generalisations about shifting weather, the hosts connect volatile seasonal patterns in Western nations directly to the catastrophic structural failures unfolding in the high Himalayas. Harminder Dhillon, a key contributor to Radio Haanji’s environmental and community programming, offers an evidence-grounded look at the mechanics behind high-altitude disasters. Together, Dhillon and Singh trace the sequence of events that transformed a detached ice formation into a lethal, high-speed wall of water and silt. Their dialogue moves from the immediate physical devastation to the broader ethical dilemma of worldwide carbon accountability.
