Climate change seen as cause for mudslide in Switzerland
ABC News ^ | August 28, 2017 | by The Associated Press

Switzerland's environmental protection office says the effects of climate change are partially to blame for a mudslide through a southeastern village that left eight people missing after a massive chunk of rock broke off an Alpine mountainside.

Federal Office for the Environment director Marc Chardonnens said Switzerland must do more to brace for climate change.

Wherever the earth slopes, it’s prone to move downward. It’s got this whole dirt and gravity thing going on.

We need to spend some trillions to keep this from happening.

It's called "erosion" and has been going on for some time.
Mountains would be MUCH taller without it.

It’s interesting how politically correct global warming “science” seems to be based entirely on hindsight, not foresight.

Let me see; chunks of mountains have NEVER and would NEVER be falling off, were it not for “climate change”, right?? Without “climate change”, both the weather conditions and the conditions on land are static, forever unchanging and forever NOT affected by the long slow march of time. Right? Right. /sarc

Oh, yeah, because all the mountainsides which have been eroding for millions of years could not have done it without “anthropogenic climate change” which was only invented in recent years !!!

Studies indicate excess Dihydrogen Monoxide is the leading cause of the increase in mud slides worldwide.

It has to be true. It’s on the AlBore interwebbs.

There are no records of mudslides, landslide or avalanches ever having happened in the pancake flat nation of Switzerland,

Gravity + dirt + water.

Is it THAT hard?

mudslide has nothing to do with the mountains in Switzerland and everything to do with cows farting.

🙊. Actually it's AGA. Anthropogenic gravitational adjustment.
