PARIS - The mountain section whose collapse triggered fatal floods in Nepal and China on Aug 26 had experienced unprecedented heat for the time of year, meteorological data analysed by a researcher shows.来源 3
原文位置 0–204
Average temperatures on the mountain glacier at an altitude of 5,200 metres (17,060 feet) were estimated at around five degrees Celsius between Aug 21 and 26.This is exceptionally high.They had not exceeded 4.0°C over the same period in more than 55 years of data recording, although no direct link to the collapse has so far been established.This series of highly localised temperatures was reconstructed by Robert Rohde, chief scientist at the independent Berkeley Earth organisation in California.At the site of the collapse, the average temperature recorded over that six-day period has risen by about 1.8°C since the mid-20th century.Without the additional heat brought by climate change, a comparable temperature pattern "would probably occur only once in a few thousand years", Rohde calculated for Agence France-Presse (AFP).The collapse came during the Langtang region's fourth-hottest summer on record, according to AFP's analysis of data from Europe's Copernicus observatory dating back to 1970.Tipping point"These hot conditions can also explain permafrost thaw and combined slope and glacier collapse," said French climatologist Valerie Masson-Delmotte.Permafrost acts as ice cement, holding rock faces together. Its degradation makes them more unstable.Satellite images also showed significant snowmelt in the days before the disaster, providing "a substantial source of liquid water that can infiltrate fractures in the mountain and facilitate landslides", said Etienne Berthier, a glaciologist at France's CNRS research agency.Experts remain cautious, however, about the precise role played by the heatwave."It's not as straightforward as 'high temperature equals collapse,'" Kristen Cook, a geomorphologist at the Grenoble Alpes University in France, told AFP."If the temperature acted as a trigger, it seems that it needed to wait until the rock was right at the tipping point of collapse," she added.Researchers are now examining the small movements observed in the mountain in the years before the collapse and their interaction with changes in temperature."Proving the rock near the fracture plane was significantly weakened as a result of meltwater and/or permafrost thaw" would be a "smoking gun" of climate change, according to Rhode of Berkeley Earth.His temperature analysis used data from the Copernicus programme's ERA5 climate model and a network of 14 high-altitude weather stations located between nine and 140 kilometres from the collapsed glacier.来源 3

The Iran-backed rebels said they hit Abha International Airport, King Khalid air base and facilities belonging to state-owned oil giant Aramco in Abha and Jizan, near their shared border.Saudi authorities and official media said the strikes caused fires and temporary shutdowns. It was the worst attack by the Houthis since a four-year truce in Yemen’s long-running civil war unravelled in July.Saudi Arabia will “take all necessary measures to defend its sovereignty”, a foreign ministry statement said, demanding a halt to the Houthi strikes and their attacks on Red Sea shipping.The Houthis triggered a return to hostilities in July when they let an Iranian plane land in Sanaa, in defiance of Saudi control of Yemeni airspace.They are now pushing to seize Yemeni government-held territory along the Red Sea’s southern gateway, with clashes leaving hundreds dead and forcing thousands of residents to flee.The Houthis have also been attacking Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, a vital export route since Iran blockaded the Strait of Hormuz as part of its war with the United States.‘All necessary measures’A Saudi-led coalition, which has been fighting the Houthis on the government’s behalf since 2015, said it would respond to the latest attacks.“The Terrorist Houthi Militia’s senseless attacks, the latest of which targeted civilian and economic sites”, resulted in injuries to 73 civilians, said the coalition’s Joint Forces Command.“The Command will also take all necessary measures and actions to respond to the sources of the threat and neutralise its danger.”According to an energy ministry source quoted by the Saudi Press Agency, “several energy sector facilities and installations in the southern region of the kingdom were targeted this morning”.“The attacks caused fires at several locations, leading to a temporary halt in some operations” as well as several injuries, the source was quoted as saying.The Houthi attacks came after they accused Riyadh on Monday of carrying out strikes around Yemen, including the deadly bombardment of a prison.The attack on the jail in Al-Hazm in Yemen’s north killed 11 people and left 20 inmates missing under the rubble, rebel TV channel Almasirah quoted Jawf province’s civil defence chief as saying.The rebels are also pressing their broad offensive along frontlines on the western Red Sea coast in a bid to advance towards the Bab al-Mandab Strait, the mouth of the Red Sea.About 18,500 people have been displaced in the flashpoint governorates of Taiz and Hodeidah, the United Nations’ International Organisation for Migration estimated.“The number is increasing by the hour,” it said in a statement on Monday.来源 4
