Actually, the better approach would be to stop idiots from climbing the mountain. We stop people from going to environmentally fragile caves, parks, tundra, monuments, etc. If the situation is so dire on Mount Everest, why not just stop people from going there? Problem solved.
I believe in something that is known as "free will".
I think it's stupid to own a motorcycle. But if you want to buy one, knock yourself out.
Because it's not dire, just like the rest of the environmental click bate BS. They need to find a new graft this one is getting old and stale.
