TRANSCRIPT

This will be a summary of the latest information regarding the flood disaster in Sri Lanka. Even though it's early morning here in Sri Lanka [Nov 28] we've been monitoring news from International and local media to bring you a concise update.

We pray for the safety and peace of the people in Sri Lanka as we proceed with these updates. Many people in the northern province of Jaffna are being displaced- yesterday the 27th many affected people were displaced and even now overnight many families have sought refuge in schools. We are also reviewing yesterday's footage.

Similarly in southern Sri Lanka many families have been displaced and are seeking refuge in various schools. Social activists are providing them with food relief and rescue efforts, compared to the north the hill country has been severely affected by landslides especially in several districts

1.14

We'll also cover the situation with the district Secretariat releasing information about the impact just hours ago. Government officials and social activists are working tirelessly day and night so let's see what has happened regarding this matter. 

The southern district of Sri Lanka has suffered significant damage. Air Force rescue operations are underway via helicopter. Regarding the death toll from this flood disaster, the last update we provided about 4 hours ago based on International and local media reports was 47 deaths however reports indicate that this number has now increased however the disaster Management Center will release reports in the morning. 

So far 47 people have died according to International media; we confirmed and posted it 4 hours ago, there were 47 deaths but the number of deaths will likely be higher by morning especially late tonight.

Besides that 21 people are missing this is official information more people may be missing Swept Away by floods. The government or the disaster Management Center may not have received information so the number of missing people is likely higher. Also more than 10 people have been seriously injured either in vehicle accidents or Swept Away by floods hitting trees or rocks or trapped in landslides.

International media and meteorologists have predicted that Sri Lanka is currently facing an unprecedented flood disaster in South Asia. 

3.22

You may have read or heard about the word Deluge in epics and myths; this generation is witnessing it first hand. Disaster occurs like a heatwave in Ethiopia or floods in Thailand and it's a sign of a deluge. We are now living in a time where we can imagine such a catastrophe such a disaster is now happening in Sri Lanka.

If I were to explain a cataclysm, we could use today's tomorrow's and yesterday's events as examples. Tragic cries Echo loudly; these must be controlled; we must pray to God to Nature. We're witnessing a scene of how floods rage how Rivers burst their Banks sweeping people away. . 

4.20 [footage]

5.55

In the South many slew skates burst open on their own unable to withstand the pressure, breaching before the barriers could be opened. More gates have been open since; look at the situation near the faroaya see how the rushes of a flash flood 

You've heard of flash floods in poems and stories; that's what's happening in Sri Lanka now. What's happening in Sri Lanka now is not just flash floods but roads overflowing areas, riverbeds, ponds, public roads now flooding into homes. You can witness this flash flood now simultaneously; many people are displaced and moving rescue operations are underway by helicopter. 

Furthermore we'll look at the situation in Jaffna according to yesterday's or rather last night's information based on the media report, the government agent of the Jaffna district Secretariat.

But as you watch this, 8 hours have passed since that report; therefore the damage and displacement are likely much greater; that's the current situation in jaffna according to the report.

A total of 231 families with 746 members are affected disaster management says Jaffna district Secretariat officially confirms 18 houses damaged 17 partially one fully the report says 18 houses are damaged disaster management has allocated 0.75 million rupees immediately for Relief and shelter. 7.5 locks is not enough for jaffna; jaffna needs more funds Beyond jaffna, Menard will receive heavy rainfall the 29th too. 

Vavanya  is sinking.

**********

Menard will receive heavy rainfall the 29th too. Vavuniya is sinking.

***************

You can see the flooded roads; many Vavuniya towns are submerged; areas near rivers and ponds are overflowing.

Not just the northern Province or the Eastern Province or the Hill Country or the southern Province or the Western Province, the Red Alert has slightly decreased for all provinces but the disaster Management Center has said to maintain this red alert for the next 48 hours.

Everyone please be alert stay in an active state in many places power poles have fallen on roads causing power outages also many trees have fallen severely damaging houses in the Hill Country houses have been buried by landslides and those inside of died over 47 deaths have been reported with cries of Sorrow echoing even at dawn we're still confirming news searching for those missing unsure of their fate.

Sri Lanka is enduring a tragic situation, A sorrowful State unseen this century. All citizens share in this grief help others as much as possible and those who are safe assist those displaced many relief efforts are underway provide financial and material assistance to those affected. Everyone, let’s unite and save our country situation the entire country not just a part is under red alert today no one knows who will save which family it's such a disastrous situation so many lives have been lost so many Swept Away by floods. It's extremely tragic; this news is difficult for me to read and even harder to present but this information needs to be known immediately; those in the diaspora need to see it too; sharing with others, and to give more different instant information through International media news confirm news collection- I will meet you soon. Thank you, goodbye.

Patagonia Perito Moreno Glacier melting at unprecedented rate after being stable for 100+ years- CGTN America 17-min documentary w transcript now at Heating Planet blog

"We noticed the change started 10 years ago." Perito Moreno glacier in the Patagonian ice field of Argentina-Chile is receding more than 100 meters per year, the world's third largest mass of ice / water after Antarctica and Greenland. READ & WATCH: What Patagonia Reveals About Our Climate Future, CGTN America Nov24 report, transcript follows- [CGTN America in Washington, D.C., is the American arm of the English language China Global Television NetworkUnited States on YT since June 2012']]

TRANSCRIPT

0.30

My name is Carlos Dominguez and I am one of the guides working here over Lash Perito Moreno. I spent the last years working here. Every glacier is beautiful, but this is very spectacular because of the dimension, the colors, but also is the easy access.

One of the natural wonders of South America, the glacier Perito Moreno is in the heart of the Patagonian ice field. This glacier is an icon of Argentina, famed for the ice falls known as carving. Visitors make the long journey to the remote southern tip of the continent from across the world.

It can be seen from walkways nearby and by boat. But for a truly unique experience, there is the trek up onto the glacier. As we begin to take in the magnitude of what we're about to see, Carlos Dominguez brings up an issue that has become the most important talking point about Perito Moreno.

1.30

*Exactly here, the glacier was covering this rock roughly two years and a half ago. And if we stare to the east, the glacier was pushing the debris over there  years ago or a little less. So the recessive trend of the glacier in this lateral margin southern margin is in the order of 100 mters per year more or less. We noticed the change started like 10 years ago. 10 years ago the glacier edge was there and little by little started to recede by general meltdown of the glacier surface.*

Some groups of tourists climb onto the glacier at the nearest point, but we continue our hike further along the side of the glacier to be able to climb up higher and get a clearer idea of the sheer scale of Perito Moreno.

This glacier stretches some 30 km up into the mountains and measures roughly 5 km across. Its total area is larger than the city of Buenosides or the size of four Manhattan islands. 

3.06

We find crevices and lakes tinted with deep ice blue. *Well, it is basically because of the refraction of the light passing through the ice is not the total spectrum. Only blue is able to travel deep in and come back by refraction because of the wavelength is shorter.*

We continue to climb and take in its majestic immensity. This glacier Perito Moreno is one of the largest glaciers in South America. Every year thousands of tourists visit. For many years it was considered stable, but that has changed. With over two decades experience, our guide Carlos Dominguez is alarmed by what he now sees.

*Since the last five years, we notice a recessive trend in both lateral margins. The northern margin a little more than the southern margin, but at least each one has receded at a rate of a bit more than 100 meters per year. But the very very center of the glacier, it is the place where the change has been more dramatic.

4.23

*We end the last season by the end of May and when we came back to start the this season by mid July, the front over there that is near the Valcones area has received at least  m. And have you ever seen anything like that before? No, never. Never. Never before.*

In just two months this year, the guides here saw part of the glacier retreat the length of more than one and a half football fields.

5.42

Lucas Ruiz grew up in Patagonia. He is one of the glaciologists who has studied the region's glaciers for many years now.

6.15

The glacier is named after Perito Moreno, the explorer who discovered it. There are 49 glaciers in the Patagonian ice field, over 17,000 glaciers across Argentina. Many tourists come hoping to witness one of the dramatic ice falls. *I was waiting to see it cuz we walked before for a couple hours and we didn't see anything like that. So, I'm glad that we decided to walk again and I was able to see it cuz it it was spectacular. Mhm.* 

7.45

*I didn't know about that before I read all the signs here that it was it used to be a lot closer and that climate change was changing that. Yeah, definitely. I think that the whole world should do something to address climate change because, you know, the earth is beautiful and we should we should keep it this way.*

What is happening to Perito Moreno in the south of Argentina is happening to glaciers around the world. The Patagonian ice field straddles the Andes mountains between Chile and Argentina, forming the world's third largest mass of ice after Antarctica and Greenland. As the world's freshwater reserves, the melting of the world's glaciers and ice fields form part of the discussions at COP 30. The United Nations names 2025 the year of glaciers preservation.

*2024 has been one of the worst years in 50 years in terms of mass lost by glaciers. We need to discuss glaciers in that context. We need to see them as our heritage but also our lifeline. We have many types of international years and this really about bringing those key burning issues but that have a long-term impact on the agenda on the global agenda. In the case of glaciers, we have not only the public but also the scientific community and the whole concept of what water means for life on Earth. This idea from source to sea, you know, from the glacier up to the sea, this is finally the same water.*

9.45

In Patagonia, we visited the glacier museum. The building is modeled on Perito Moreno. Luciano Bernaci is one of the museum directors.

*And glaciers for me are very interesting because it's the only change you see in the landscape that you can actually see during your lifetime. Everything else takes a lot longer except for like volcano or a earthquake. But I always say that we are not trained to see geological change in our lifetime. However, what I've seen here in the last 20-30 years or even 10 years, it's amazing. We can now go and to a place where it's a huge several mile long lake and I have photos crossing that on the ice not so long ago.*

Bonacci is a mountain guide who is also involved in glacier research and field work. He has experience in both polar regions of the world.

*Perito Moreno is our star glacier, the most famous one for several reasons. It's very pretty surrounded by forest. It has a very easy access. It was considered to be stable or what we call a near steady state for about 100 years since 1917 until now actually a few years ago we considered it was stable. It didn't really change outside some minimal seasonal fluctuations.

Sometime in 2019-2020 it's uncertain still we started seeing changes and it did not recover every winter like it did in the past and then more and then more and then more- and clearly now we can safely say with evidence that it has been retreating for the last 5-6  years.*

11.22

He says much more work is needed to fully comprehend what is happening to the glacier. 

*The world weather organization basically says that you can't really talk about climate or trends until you have 30  years of data and and we do have 30 years of data near the snout or the end of the Moreno but there's very very little on on the higher area in the accumulation area which is basically the ice field; so what we would need is a million things basically more weather stations more people more funding a lot of things but you know. With a few resources available there's a lot being done.*

The national parks authorities have been using drones to collect images that help scientists. Drones are able to take photographs that help scientists determine not only the surface area of the glacier, but also and crucially, the mass.

13.12

UNESCO hopes that promoting the year of glaciers preservation will increase public awareness and also help form government policy. *And this needs both engagement needs policies and needs science for those policies. The more we know about the glaciers, the better policies we can have. This is a little bit where we as UNESCO come in. We are looking to produce more and more science about the glaciers so that governance can make better informed decisions.*

Yet under President Javier Mille, Argentina withdrew its delegation from last year's summit at COP 29 and MLE has suggested he may take Argentina out of the Paris climate agreement.

Perito Moreno is located in a national park so it is protected. But Argentina's government has suggested relaxing its law that protects glaciers, many of which are found near areas that could be of interest to mining companies. For investigators and researchers, the issue is increasingly urgent.

14.42

We spoke to Lucas Ruiz in Chile. He's no longer working in Argentina close to Perito Moreno. And as part of Argentina President Mile's austerity push, wages for scientists and funding for projects has been frozen or cut for Argentina.

Lucas Ruiz remains in touch with colleagues and friends in Argentina and they continue working together. Carlos Dominguez doubles up as a guide but also as part of the team that continues to monitor the state of the glacier. The cooperation is since they cannot spend the whole year here and we come here daily; we have the chance to maintain instruments in function; check out take data send data to Lucas and other glaciologists that are in different programs to research the glacier.

16.14

The example of Lucas is interesting because it is the only team that really went to the snow accumulation area to measure with the instruments the real accumulated snow in the recent years. And the program was to do it several times because for scientific investigations you need a thick amount of data and statistics to then publish something. We went over there only twice and then no more financial support make it impossible to continue. And that is the open question because we know the glacier is shrinking down here but maybe it is partially due to warming down here but maybe also reduced accumulation of the snow in the upper part. But we cannot establish this since we don't have the necessary data.

Pakistan Ultar Glacier burst TRANSLATED 2 Geo News Nov 26 reports w original Hindi transcripts- READ & WATCH at Heating Planet blog

Gilgit–Baltistan, Pakistan: Last summer temperatures here rose three to four degrees Celsius above normal and the glaciers melted significantly. It used to rain and snow here in November. However, for the past two years, neither rain nor snow. Consequently, the mountains have become dry due to the excessive melting of glaciers. WATCH & READ Video 1 Hunza Glacier Erupts Amid Blizzard| Shocking Natural Disaster! [Geo News from Pakistan since 2007]

(Ultar is the southeasternmost major peak of the Batura Muztagh, a subrange of the Karakoram range. It lies about 10 km northeast of Karimabad, a town on the Karakoram Highway in the Hunza Valley, part of the Hunza District of Gilgit–Baltistan, Pakistan.)

TRANSLATED TRANSCRIPT

The Ultar Glacier burst in the Hunza Valley two days ago, causing a two-day blizzard. Today, the weather is relatively clear. We learn about the situation from Ali Ahmed. 

Ali Ahmed, in the Hunza district, has been experiencing clear weather for several days, and the daytime sun shines, making the climate extremely pleasant. However, temperatures drop to minus 10 degrees Celsius at night, increasing the severity of the winter. Ice has begun to accumulate in rivers and streams.

The storm that swept across Hunza due to the sliding of the Ultar Glacier has now returned to normal. Locals are calling it a seasonal change, as it used to rain and snow here in November. However, for the past two years, the weather has been clear, with neither rain nor snow. Consequently, the mountains have become dry.

Due to the excessive melting of glaciers here in the summer, a stormy situation had developed in the rivers and streams here

VIDEO 2 Disaster Alert! Avalanche Detaches from Glacier, Heavy Losses Feared[Geo News is Pakistan's Number. 1 news channel]

TRANSLATED TRANSCRIPT

I told you that a chunk of ice is breaking off in Hunza, and it's understandable it's causing panic in the area. We'll delve into this situation with Mohammad Ali, who's with us. I'd like to ask Ali to explain this: we've obviously heard and seen that this glacier breakoff normally occurs in the summer season. Why is this happening this season? Please explain. And what impact is it having on Gilgit-Baltistan, and especially Hunza? 

Mr. Ali Ahmed, most of Gilgit-Baltistan is dominated by glaciers, and here in Hunza, almost 70% of the area is covered in glaciers. You can see the Ulthal Glacier in the background here. 

This incident happened here yesterday, and a large portion of the glacier fell into this drain, causing clouds to cover Karimabad, Aliabad, and some areas of the city. These snowy clouds remained, and it seemed as if it was snowing here. 

This phenomenon is commonly observed here, according to Mahreen and local elders. It occurs in the months of April and May. When there's snowfall and the streams fill with snow, the snowflakes come down due to wind or other pressure. But this is the first time this snowflake has fallen here in late November, and people are also considering it a possible weather change, as last summer the temperature here rose about three to four degrees Celsius above its normal limit, and the glaciers here melted significantly. It's possible that the roots of these glaciers, which were firmly attached to the mountains, have become hollow, and that's why they're falling so much but it would be absolutely traumatic for the people there.
