It's not just coincidence that these floods keep happening in Nepal.
In August a glacier gave way on Langtang Lirung and more than 1,400 people died. Then came weeks of deadly rain. Today another river burst through in Gorkha, and 10 people are missing.
This is what a warming planet looks like in the Himalayas.
Nepal produces less than 0.1% of the world's emissions, yet its villages keep paying the price.
