#ClimateDiary Major flash floods in Nepal, hundreds missing. The footage here is truly terrifying. #Nepal
Also: please note the “including foreign tourists”. Euphemism for: “the humans who truly count”.

@pvonhellermannn@mastodon.green your note was my exact second reaction, after sadness from the rest of the title. it's disgusting to have the need to catch the global north's attention by mentioning tourists... of course the authorities report it like this in the first place
