The story so far
A recent flood in Nepal has sparked debate about the role of climate change in the disaster. The flood has been linked to glacier-related events, with some outlets pointing to global warming and poor monitoring as contributing factors.
However, international media has been criticized for not explicitly connecting the flood to the broader climate crisis. The Times of India and New Scientist have both suggested that global warming played a role, but Nepali Times has noted a lack of clear linkage in international reporting.
The exact causes of the flood and the extent of climate change's role remain unclear.
