Well, they're framing it as "Climate Change" but, whatever the cause... The Power of Nature certainly can be amazing!
The mighty Slims River in Canada's Yukon Territory has all but dried up after melting glacier water caused a huge shift in the direction of water draining from the VAST Kaskawulsh glacier which previously fed into it.!
From The Guardian UK:

The direction of water flowing into two similar sized rivers from the huge glacier has been changed so much that one river is now around 70 times bigger than the other!
Similar events have happened in the past but I think that this is the first time that it has actually been observed happening.
Pretty amazing stuff.

The mighty Slims River in Canada's Yukon Territory has all but dried up after melting glacier water caused a huge shift in the direction of water draining from the VAST Kaskawulsh glacier which previously fed into it.!
From The Guardian UK:
Quote:"An immense river that flowed from one of Canada’s largest glaciers vanished over the course of four days last year, scientists have reported, in an unsettling illustration of how global warming dramatically changes the world’s geography.
The abrupt and unexpected disappearance of the Slims river, which spanned up to 150 metres at its widest points, is the first observed case of “river piracy”, in which the flow of one river is suddenly diverted into another."
