Himalayan salt is rock salt from the Punjab region of Pakistan.

I prefer not to give money to nuclear armed islamists.

Your mileage may vary...

These are the same glaciers that have been melting for 10,000 years. The earth’s climate may be changing just like it has been changing for thousands of years.

You want to talk about catastrophic climate change, look at Mars. There used to be liquid rivers on Mars. Now it barely has an atmosphere. Damn the fossil fuels.

We have been and will continue to see more and more of these BS stories as we get closer to the 20 elections. If the Rats get elected they will enact every part of the idiotic Green New Deal incrementally and it will inflict misery on all of us. All based on lies. The climate thing is everything to the Rats. the key to unlimited funding, control and permanent power. That and keeping the border wide open means they will never be out of power again.

The question is beyond science as we know it. We do not know how to make predictions that keep up with all the factors that go into climate, including the fireball that is eight light minutes from us. That is a God sized question. The problem is that the process of speculation selects for the sensational as opposed to the boring.

May God confuse their camp and bring its own political nemesis.

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.


I think, at one point, he said it was 90 million Americans in the 1990s. Oddly enough in the 1990s, 90 million Americans were on diets.

Imagine if civilization had started 15,000 years earlier. The headlines would have been “Northern Ohio glaciers can’t be saved due to climate change, Indiana polar bears in jeopardy”.

Maybe they would be happier if the glaciers returned to their greatest glacial depth i.e. of course assuming they are not making the request anywhere north of the 40th degree latitude.

Watch how they explain away any uncovered human settlements that may be found as the glaciers shrink.

“Third Of Himalayan glaciers can no longer be saved”

That’s the thing that gets me. If it’s TOO LATE,
why don’t these folks talk about what is needed to
adapt to the changing conditions?

“What we suggest to prevent this from happening
is too late so we should do it anyway!!”?

Another assessment says that by 2050, due to lessened solar activity, there will be very little liquid fresh water anywhere on the surface of the earth.

I’m embarrassed to be part of this era of civilization.

100+ years from now the history books will mock us and call us fools for such ridiculous “scientific” predictions.

By the end of the century.

That’s a long time. So much could happen.

To say there will be moraines
would only be scratching the surface.
