Experts explain the science behind the China-Nepal disaster

Heavy rain is forecast at the site of the China-Nepal border disaster, raising fears of further flooding that could trigger a second catastrophe. Authorities are monitoring the levels of a lake that had formed after the flash floods that is at risk of bursting its banks. Experts say that while climate change cannot be singled out as the direct cause of the disaster, such events will not be the last. They are calling for stepped up intergovernmental coordination.
