Poised atop the high Himalayas is a frightening daisy chain of fragile glacial lakes, all produced by glacial melting as a result of climate change. When the lakes burst, the torrents of water sweep entire populations in their wake. In A Deluge of Consequences, intrepid journalist Jacques Leslie takes us along on a mythic, spell-binding trip to the bucolic kingdom of Bhutan, where the planet's next environmental disaster is set to unfold.
