Melting Himalayas - India

December 2009

The glaciers covering the Himalayas are melting much faster than anywhere else on Earth. If the current trend continues, they will lose 80% of their mass in the next 25 years.
The rapid pace of the melt is homemade: the smog of wood fires and exhaust fumes. This brown cloud warms the high mountains at a far stronger pace than the earth does. In the past a thick blanket of snow covered these mountains." The major Himalayan countries have good prospects in the fight against this threat if they agree quickly on a common strategy. When the glaciers are gone, there will be no water here."

Over population is not the problem, its over consumption. All those people who bark about need for action in Copenhagen should first change their life style, consume less.

And now?

It was a cold winter with a lot of snow.

So what now?

Do we have to heat the glaciers up?

What are the Swiss guys calculating?

[Heroasango]

Yep! And even the specialist are wrong! Instead of 2035 2350 or was it 2530?

Laugh, enjoy and pay your taxes!
