Funnily enough spotted this just after attending a @h2020protect.bsky.social webinar on the #Greenland tsunami of 2017, which was caused by an event very similar to this one, where a mountainside collapsed into a fjord. Thawing permafrost likely a cause in Nugatsiaq, did it also play a role here?

Here's the IPCC synthesis Peters is linking to.
In response to Peters, David Ho says:
"We’re murdering the planet right now, in case you didn’t know. Or if we’re not murdering it, we’re making it uninhabitable for ourselves specifically, because we seem to believe we can’t afford to keep it inhabitable.
It seems like a bad time to engage in fights to murder each other, but the urges to murder the planet and to murder each other seem conjoined. It might be a good time to fight whatever urges are leading us to do such wasteful things in a time of great need."
