We won’t have to pass through the mines of Moria any longer.

On my list of concerns for humanity, Himalayan glacier melt is number 5,361 from the top.

I think Botox plays a part in their theory making. This compulsion to keep everything the same seems pathological.

Are there any aquifers under the glaciers? Can’t India build some desalination plants? They could sell Bay Of Bengal Sea Salt and make a fortune.

I know it.

Why must people always only see the dark clouds when the silver lining is right there raining on them like a giant with a weak bladder?

So the snow melts.

So what?

Look for the bright side.

They can’t track the Abominable Snowman.

He’ll finally find the peace and quiet he’s always longed for.

Besides, you can’t say ‘Himalayan’ anymore. It’s now to be ‘Theiralayan’.

One-third of Himalayan glaciers will melt by the end of the century due to climate change, threatening water sources for 1.9 billion people

BUT ... doesn't the glacier have to melt to enable the people drink it?

Leftist mantras...

"Save the glaciers"
"Kill the babies"

Leftism, under all of its' brand names, is an evil & psychotic disorder

By the time we know if this will actually happen, the people who talked about it will likely be off this mortal coil.

Could it be however that Himalaya’s glacier loss will be Antarctica’s ice gain?

even if current efforts to reduce climate change succeed,

THEY JUST ADMITTED THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW.

I thought it was SETTLED SCIENCE.

What have these humans offended against? We need to answer that question first.

If it’s God, then we have completely opened the door to theology. If it’s other opinions of men, then ha! Those are fungible.

Yeah, recall how Erlich’s Population Bomb said hundreds of millions would be starving by the 1970s, and it was too late to stop it.
