    Yup, in the Alps whole mountainsides are crashing down, threatening villages.

    Between the glaciers and high altitude permafrosted ground being liquified, the land no longer holds together.

    Not to mention crazy seasonal floods followed by record dry seasons making the traditional alpine pastures no longer possible. The cows couldn’t get enough food, water and got sunburned.

    This is way beyond normal.
