Get past the 'climate change' angle of the article. The landslide did occur because unstable sediment was exposed by glacial retreat, no big deal.

What is fascinating to me is a Geologic event on the scale of the 1958 Lituya Bay , AK landslide and Tsunami went completely unnoticed. It was only discovered by someone reviewing seismic data at a desk in DC and noticed a landslide earthquake that was later investigated.

This wave scoured the Fjord walls up to 600 feet vertical. And no one knew.

Was that the one where a man and his son rode it out in their fishing boat.?

“Climate Change”

These scientists make it sound as if tsunamis, earthquakes, retreating glaciers, tornadoes, hurricanes, forest fires, etc. never happened until the invention of the automobile.

"it’s the kind of event we may see more of due to a warming climate."

OMG!!!

[May Gretta help us...]

I had not heard about this until tonight. Did a search for Tsunami and nothing for this showed up going back to 2014.

Had y’all heard about this?

"We may see more of due to climate warming"

There is a growing glacier in Alaska that is threatening a village in that state. The glacier will eventually close off a water drainage and flood the village.

This was the subject of a Mike Rowe Dirty Jobs episode.

If is noted that this Dirty Jobs episode was one of two removed from archives.

Any chance that a landslide like that would expose gold?

Last fall's massive Icy Bay landslide launched a megatsunami (2016)

A couple of links to older Free Republic posts about the tsunami.

I seem to remember a Tarzan episode with Adam West. Someone was tied to the beach and a Tsunami was coming in.

There wasn’t a glacier involved.

I didn’t feel a thing.

“Thirty-odd, 40 years ago, Taan Fiord didn’t exist at all. It was filled with ice.”

Not according to the timeline imagery on Google Earth.

[JimRed]

The October 2015 cataclysm in Taan Fiord in Southeast Alaska appears to have been the fourth highest tsunami recorded in the past century, and its origins - tied to the retreat of a glacier - suggest it’s the kind of event we may see more of due to a warming climate..

The new study even bluntly calls it a "a hazard occasioned by climate change."

Why the AGW / CC propaganda?
