Flash floods caused by a glacial lake bursting its banks in India's Himalayan region have resulted in a death toll of 40 people, with over 70 still missing. The flooding has caused significant damage to infrastructure, including bridges and roads, and has cut off sections of the state of Sikkim from the rest of India. This is the latest in a series of extreme weather events in the Himalayan region, with scientists warning that the melting of glaciers due to global warming is a threat to the world. The number of glacial lakes is expected to increase, leading to more disasters.
