Just awful!

There were no landslides before we started using fossil fuels.

Absolutely ... I thought everyone knew that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causes rock to spontaneously transmute into clay ... I feel sorry for the 11 that died but at least there wasn't a major pyroclastic flow right after ... that would have killed everyone in Oslo ...

Anyone else read this and think "Why are they having an election at 3am?"

I was thinking that's about when Biden won this election, around 3am.

Covid strikes again

If those 10 people missing test positive for Covid, they didn't die in the landslide.

The worst "in (only) 30 years"? Does it mean that Norway continues to be unprepared for frequent landslides and when they happen every couple of decades they get to blame the deaths on "global warming"? Sounds like a coverup to me.

The article didn't mention global warming.

That was the OP's ad lib.

Prayers up for all who live in Gjerdom, Norway, who lost loved ones, homes, and for the Norwegians who mourn the loss of friends and family. Not fair.

And prayers for those who have to pronounce that !
