A catastrophic glacial collapse high on the Tibetan Plateau triggered a lethal deluge of mud, ice, and mountain debris through the river valleys bordering Tibet and Nepal. With over 800 confirmed deaths and thousands still missing across the transboundary region, search and rescue teams are battling deep silt, damaged infrastructure, and subterranean hazards to reach survivors. In this video, we break down the critical rescue operations—from trapped hydroelectric tunnel workers to emergency international aid—and examine how climate change is accelerating cryosphere destabilization worldwide. We also look at how shifting global weather patterns are driving extreme hydrological shocks across diverse ecosystems, including recent flash flooding and mudslides along Bright Angel Creek in the Grand Canyon. #Tibet #Nepal #GlacialCollapse #ClimateChange #FlashFloods #GrandCanyon #NaturalDisaster #Himalayas Independent media has never been more important.

EVERY TIME someone says, "The science is settled," take it with a grain of salt. A new report shows that the universe is expanding faster than current models predict. What does that mean? It's possible that current models of the universe are flawed, which means scientists may have to rewrite the rules by which they think the universe operates. "He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision" (Psalm 2:4, ESV). We recognize the verse is not directed at human scientists, but it does seem appropriate. This story led to a deep discussion of the nature of time, eternity, and why we humans are not created to live forever in our current bodies. We also discuss the rise in technocratic bureaucracy, as evidenced by the spread of Flock AI-powered surveillance cameras in American cities and the proposal by the World Health Organization for a $30 billion budget to prevent future pandemics. (Bear in mind the total WHO budget last year was just over $3 billion.) That led to a brief discussion of the news this week that the US federal deficit officially hit $40 trillion. That's about a third of the actual debt when you include unfunded liabilities like Social Security and Medicare. Also, two former congressman wrote a piece for the Wall Street Journal recently debunking the official narrative that the 2008 subprime mortgage collapse was the result of greedy lenders and investors. It was, in fact, the result of government policies that led to mortgages being written for unqualified borrowers in the pursuit of government social engineering policies. But rather than putting blame on government, the official story blamed Wall Street to justify even more government control over the free market. Finally, we discussed the tragic mudslide and flash flood in Nepal and Tibet this week. That brought to mind something we discussed 20 years ago about the potential of a catastrophic mega-tsunami caused by the collapse of the La Palma volcano in the Canary Islands. It seems that newer models show that the fear is unwarranted. Derek's new book War of the Watchers Book One: From Baal to Balfour is now available at Amazon in paperback and as a Kindle e-book!

It's Throwback Thursday. This week, it's a timely discussion given this week's devastating and deadly earthquake-induced landslide and flash flood on the border between Nepal and Tibet. Originally released May 18, 2008 MORE than 50,000 people are estimated to have died in the May 12 earthquake in China, many of whom still lie beneath rubble scattered across an area the size of Belgium. Elsewhere, the city of Reno, Nevada looks nervously to the northwest, where thousands of minor earthquakes have rattled the area since February 28. Scientists are puzzled by this cluster because they don't fit any known pattern. And here in the Midwestern U.S., we were startled by a M5.2 earthquake centered in southeast Illinois on April 18, the second strongest earthquake recorded in the state since the arrival of white settlers in the early 19th century. What's with all of the unusual seismic activity? And how does this relate to biblical prophecies of catastrophic global earthquakes in the end times? David W. Lowe, author of Earthquake Resurrection and Then His Voice Shook The Earth, shares his thoughts. Sharon's niece, Sarah Sachleben, is fighting stage 4 bowel cancer, and the medical bills are piling up. If you are led to help, please go to GilbertHouse.org/hopeforsarah. Follow us!

Hundreds of people, including nearly 300 foreign tourists, are missing after devastating floods swept through northern Nepal and across the border in Tibet, China. In Nepal entire villages as well as roads, bridges and power stations have been swept away. At least 31 people have been confirmed dead in Nepal, while the Chinese authorities in Tibet are reporting major casualties there too. Also: a fire at a maternity ward at a hospital in Islamabad has killed at least 14 newborn babies. China's Narcotics Control Commission says a growing number of young people are turning to large doses of prescription drugs to help them manage exam related stress. Tributes from music stars, actors and beyond pour in for the country music star Dolly Parton who's died at the age of 80.

On this, our 340th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the recent flash flood on the border of Nepal and Tibet, climate science, and the nature of evidence. What commonalities are there between a glacial dam breaking and flooding the valley below, taking out towns and villages; Dry Falls and the Columbia River Gorge in Washington state; the Boxing Day tsunami in the Indian Ocean; and the 2011 earthquake that resulted in the destruction of the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan? In some cases we have to infer what happened; in some cases we have direct observation; in all cases we have to construct a plausible story that fits all of the evidence. Meanwhile in climate science, a new paper reconstructs NOAA data from 1,200 weather stations from over 100 years, uses a different metric than NOAA does to describe the data, and concludes that the world—or at least the coterminous U.S.—is not heating up in the way we have been told. We discuss.*****Our sponsors:Ethos: Protect your family with life insurance from Ethos.
