“More plants are growing in the US now that mile’s thick glaciers have melted away revealing massive land that was once covered- the consequences could be series, and hugh

Come on climb to the top! If you can’t climb please step aside to die so those below you can continue to climb. Be considerate of those still unfrozen. If you die on the trail we will push your body over the side. So ifin you decide to stop, please pick a spot that you feel will be a good view for your eternity.

Waiting for a eco-warrior climbing team to rip out all the ladders and climbing support infrastructure on Everest to impede the assault on the mountain.

[[”We don’t know what the impact is — it may be that plants trap snow and might cause it to melt more slowly. It might be that the plants cause the snow to melt more quickly,” she added.]]

It might be that water runs faster, it might be that water runs slower- it might be that dirt heats up faster, it might be that dirt heats up slower- We just don’t know what the impact might be, so everyone panic and empty your pockets-

Now that’s one place on earth where global warming would actually save lives.

While it is still too early to tell what impact this new growth could have on the region, "urgent research" on the potential effects is needed, Anderson told CNN.

"We don't know what the impact is -- it may be that plants trap snow and might cause it to melt more slowly. It might be that the plants cause the snow to melt more quickly," she added.

So... This "proves" that somebody has to fork over a bunch of money so some global warming religiousos can put together some documentation (AKA science) that a shows that a little additional vegetation growing on the mountain is disastrous for all human life on earth.

So who gives a rat’s a**? We are all going to die in 10 years. What anti-science buffoonery.

[[I must have missed a news cycle.
Plants are bad?]]

We don’t know yet, they could be good, they could be bad, we just don’t know yet- so everyone panic!

What makes any of that “urgent” and if plant matter there is so dangerous, let’s aerial spray Roundup on it.

More plants?

Or it may be that there's no difference at all!

With thousands of bored yuppies going there every year, they think that they aren’t accidently bringing seeds along with them?

Himalayan glaciers have been losing almost half a meter (1.6 feet) of ice each year since the start of this century.

Half a meter per year for 100 years is 50 meters in 100 years.

Man the life boats.

Life ruins himalayas!!!

I am MORE AMAZED every damn day at just how STUPID people really are!!!

[NativeSon]

It’s all the fertilizer (bodies) that have left up there causing the growth.
