Nepal Flood Tests Western Media's Climate-Crisis Framing
The piece criticizes Western media for hedging the link between the Bhote Kosi flood in Nepal and the climate crisis, noting reporters quote survivors while downplaying expert warnings and the climate connection. It links the disaster to glacier melt and permafrost loss, and argues reporting should address underlying systems, accountability, and repair rather than framing disasters in isolation. It also warns that public attention wanes as the story moves on, and calls for clearer attribution and responsibility in coverage.
