BC’s giant landslide serves as warning for other parts of the world

No one saw a massive landslide in a remote valley on B.C.’s central coast back in late 2020, but it was detected as far away as Australia.
In a few seconds, 50 million tonnes of rock dropped from a mountainside into Elliott Lake.
The results of a new study show it triggered a tsunami 100 metres tall. The study also has some startling findings including how fast that wave was moving.
Glaciers in central B.C. are melting faster than almost anywhere else in the world.
As Ted Chernecki reports, researchers fear the event is a red flag for any region where glaciers are melting.

It amazes me that people forget that we are at the END of an ice age. Things like this are going to happen yet people ignore this fact and build places to shop and live right next to these things. Thankfully not this time.

[@somedumbozzie1539]

That's why there are so many floods in Australia so many of our towns and cities grew up around river flood plains in the 19th century when the rivers were the roads, by they only effect about 1% of the population. The trouble is that they are such lush and fertile places to live that it is worth putting up with the floods and the people in those regions make such great friends and neighbors.

I don't think majority realize just how much water is about to be displaced. What isn't permenantly flooded is still going to be flood plains. Mass earthquakes. Everywhere.

​@@will7its Likely not an exaggeration. It's a simple question of volume. If you don't have a wide enough basin, like the video said, the only direction to displace the water is vertically. Theres a great precedent for massive landslides into bodies of water causing mega-tsunamis, especially when that water is confined.

[@will7its]

@@jr1648 Its the news, look at the trees, 20 meters at most

[@jr1648]

@@will7its Its difficult to get an idea from just looking at the footage. You have to remember that sediment fills the channels that have been carved by the flow. Also, floodwaters dissipate in capacity and depth over time, so when they say 100M, thats likely the peak wave height at the point where the landslide hit the water. So unless you're familiar with the geography of the entire valley, just looking at the video, it's impossible to tell what part of the valley they were recording (with the exception of the landslide area which was obvious). It's very likely that by the time the flow reached the base of the valley, it's height had greatly subsided. I'm just saying that a 100M flood in a confined valley isn't unheard of.

If a glacier is accelerating or slowing down erosion depends largely on the local topology and the type of rock involved.

@@leighchristopherson2455 @Leigh Christopherson You know I wouldn't take Koonin too seriously on the matter of climate change, he worked for BP oil for a few years prior to working during Obama's administration. Bit of a conflict of interest and seemingly left him prone to bias thereafter. He also has no formal specialization in climate science being more specialized in theoretical physics, computational physics and alternative energy/nuclear energy where he is quite knowlegable from what I've seen but as for climate change has taken a staunch contrarian approach which is fine and can be healthy except he cherry picks data when doing so, ignores wider contexts and contributing factors, skews statistics and makes large leaps in logic to reach conclusions or just leaves things vague, and has since been debunked by his peers on the topic and his booked panned by critics for cherry picking data as I mentioned while ignoring replicable studies. Also beyond being the undersecretary of science for the Secretary of Energy during Obama's administration where he was more of an advisor again specializing more in alternative energy than climate change itself. In 2019 he was going to be on Trumps administration for a presidential committee where koonin was co selecting committee members for a public "adversarial" debate on climate change but later had it changed to an advisory group not as subject to public disclosure, none of that panned out in the end I believe but still left a massive impact on how that administration handled the issue. All in all without dissecting the book he can be a brilliant scientist but isn't intellectually honest when it comes to climate change and I personally suspect that has something to do with his original position at BP oil and energy sectors but that's merely me guessing to be fair. The science on climate change is ever expanding and broadening our understanding of its effects and scope and while it's not "settled" like Koonin claims the overwhelming consensus is that it is real, it is impacted by humans and the effects can be severe, with review studies of published scientific papers finding between 99%-100% of all papers studied to conclude in favor of climate change rather than sceptical.

Well if you put the wrong data in you must get the wrong data out. In Australia they build 120 foot dam. In less than 40 years it was completely filled to the brim with silt. And cattle now feed right up to the edge of the dam wall. And that was built in granite area. You see granite is eroding away much much much faster than we have been told it's not millions of years it's only hundred of years. The coastlines around the world are also shrinking. Erosion is happening much much faster than we have been led to believe because they put in the wrong modelling. John Gould one of the greatest naturalist stated and I quote it is a miracle we still have the fossil record, at the present rate of erosion". You see John Gould realised that the data didn't match what he was saying in the real world. He estimated that the fossil record should have been wiped out at least six times. The lost squadron in World War II landed on ice. 70 years later they had an expedition to go and find them, they were told by the scientist that there should only be a foot of ice and snow on them. But when they actually located the squadron they were 270 feet down. The same depth as what the scientist said was at least 10 million years old.

I get a kick out of people who cry "We are destroying the planet!" If we get to the point where we really are harming the planet, we will be wiped out by nature itself.

[@Rnankn]

Well, that’s stating the obvious. We are at that point, and trying to prevent it. People don’t want us to harm the biosphere, and as a consequence save ourselves.

Hello to my fellow inhabitants of Alberta and British Columbia. After viewing this footage and making my way through BC from October 30th to December 2021, during the Floods. As a friendly warning ⚠️, I feel landslides, Floods and heavy rain 🌧 will seriously affect BC and AB this spring 2022. Please prepare my friends

Some people actually find stories like this interesting. Besides many natural disasters have happened before and now are happening more often. Such as extreme drought, flood, forest fire, hurricanes, heat waves, etc. Except now the cause is primarily the human burning of fossil fuels which is warming the planet causing glaciers to melt and avalanches like this happen more often as well increasing the likelihood of all those other things that I mentioned.! Now imagine one of these disasters directly affecting you!! Get the picture now?

Something similar happened that diverted water that use to flow into Lake Kluane. Now the water flows in a different direction and Lake Kluane is much lower.

the source fed two rivers at a fork, the slims and the kaskawulsh, but yes it only feeds the kaskawulsh as it stands now, beautiful area, been into the donjek twenty years back, even there you are on the continental divide and from the toe of the glacier one river goes south and one north, the glacier there surged back in the seventies i believe and plowed right across the valley in one day.......

[@galenhaugh3158]

Oh, brother--what causes landslides is water pooling up in a land mass that is prevented from draining by frost blocking drainage ways. The resulting hydrostatic pressure lubricates the slip surface and there goes the mountain!!!

[@alexaltrichter1597]

The earth has been warming for the last 10,000 years or so. Thats what melted the glaciers in the first place. I realize the young folks are taught something far different then reality but the glaciers were 3 to 4 miles thick and covered the northern half of north America. There'll be many more ice ages before this planet is gobbled up by the sun in 6 billion years. Don't fret about it.

[@Rnankn]

The climate has been stable for 10000 years, and abrupt warming is a recent phenomenon. Removing the atmospheric carbon and restoring the ice will take hundreds of thousands of years. So future ice ages aren’t really relevant, when the planet is now hotter than it has ever been in the entire existence of our species.

[@alexaltrichter1597]

@@Rnankn so you're saying" in the future ice will form at a higher temperature then what its done in the past." Yeah no, sorry I'm not buying into the scam a few old ultra rich white dudes drummed up to extort money from everybody.

0:42 a tsunami means harbour wave. No harbours were harmed during this landslide.

[@joeshmoe7967]

I think in general the use of tsunami, simply indicates wave caused by earth movment. Every wave that comes into a harbour, would be a harbour wave....tsunami is caused by a fault shift. I would agree that we usually would reserve tsunami for an ocean event, but the gist is a massive wave with a cause that is not wind/weather related.

"tsunami, (Japanese: “harbour wave”) also called seismic sea wave or tidal wave, catastrophic ocean wave, usually caused by a submarine earthquake, an underwater or coastal landslide, or a volcanic eruption. The term tidal wave is frequently used for such a wave, but it is a misnomer, for the wave has no connection with the tides." Britannica Never heard anyone call a wave in a lake a "Tsunami."

[@drebk]

A tsunami is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake. Or Oxford: an arrival or occurrence of something in overwhelming quantities or amounts. Sometimes the literal translation of a foreign word doesn't carry through to all uses in a different language. Further, if we are being pedantic, "harbour wave" could mean literally any wave that occurs in a harbour... which obviously isn't how the word is ever used in English. Hell, that literal sense isn't even how the word is used in Japan

[@dawggonevidz9140]

Do you have a special name that fits better for a landslide on the coast of a lake that caused a 100 metre tall catastrophic wave to emanate from that lake and continue downstream where it was previously just streams? Because tsunami fits perfectly as a descriptor of what happened if you have the cognitive capacity to get over that one word in the definition that didn't fit, and update the definition accordingly.
