Welcome to The Village Oak Tree

I'm your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill.

Thank you for joining me again this week.

As I've said repeatedly here, I do these weekly videos and commentaries because I want to talk to people about what I'm thinking about. These seemingly random topics are largely based on articles that got my attention throughout the past week. This week is no different.

Most of us have seen some of the viral videos posted about the horrific flooding from the Hindu-Kush mountains in Nepal and Tibet, where the glacier let go, and wiped out whole villages when the wall of water went down the valleys, on it's way to the ocean. That struck me, then I started thinking about what if. And that is the subject of this week's video. Not so much what if, but when. When will the world see another one of these glaciers let go because of global warming?

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit as I bring you some facts that might scare a few people, and. maybe, what to expect over the next few years, as the planet continues to warm up.
