    Over populated world, melting glaziers, holy wars, beginning stages of extreme food crisis, and Obama. This will not have a good outcome.

    If it’s melting the water should be flowing, I don’t get it?

    This is a human disgrace! My wealthy British uncles don’t seem to take heed to warnings. I threatened them that I was going to get born in Nepal in my next lifetime, I apologized for getting born to them! I wanted to climb Mt. Everest in this lifetime, even with severe asthma, I thought it was do able. So I’ve spent much time wilderness camping -18*c was my triumphful survival,sleeping with a ‘space blanket’ from NASA. I’ve been frostbitten on my feet 3 times in 40years. Now, for nothing?!

    Very useful video and for now Chewang Norphel (76), a retired Indian engineer has built 12 new glaciers already and is racing to create five more before he dies.

    His race against time is shared by Manmohan Singh, the Indian Prime Minister, His work has now been recognized by the Indian government, which has given him 16,000 pounds to build five new glaciers.

    The Greenpeace activists unfortunately do not realise what the real problem is. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT YOU NEED TO ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF THIS CORRUPTION! The economic system itself is the problem! Activism WITHIN the system is pointless!

    you can’t blame god, or any other fictional character. blame humans.

  • ChinaKillsNuns says:

    We are but one species on the planet and we are wrecking it, without any help from any other species.

    Subsidising oil companies is just madness. If you tax oil people buy more efficient cars, and car companies learn how to build more efficient cars and there will be less income tax.

    The selfishness and stupidity of many humans is the downfall of the planet. We do not even know how many species we have wiped out so far and our population is still expanding.

    We are pathetic.

  • steviesmooth says:

    its because the planet is due by 2012. . . thats the cause of all the big storms and its only going to get worse as we get closer. . . all the top world gov know about it aproching and thats why were already in a economic crisis today. . they are planning for the big day that will wipe out most of humanity around the world. . about 85% will die. . . and the world is already starting to see effects. . . planet nibiru. . . not the end or the world just a new begining

  • sdsunandfun says:

    Mt Everest is melting and the ice god is angry cause green people with dirty shoes walk on her nice white dress. When the glacier melts, the sea god will be pissed cause he is being diluted and polluted, so he fights the sun god and the sun god farts and the greens fill their lungs and smile.

  • freeyourmindusa says:

  • freeyourmindusa says:

    That’s right !
    good day too

  • markbotv3 says:

    I wouldnt say ppl and animals have no chance. you underestimate nature and humanitys ability to adapt my freind. but sure we should change our energy plan to stop dependence on mid eastern oil if for no other reason. them guys are just too unstable. good day =)

  • m3fc88 says:

    If a lot of country will change the use of enrgy, maybe in the next 100 year the temperature will not reach +6 or +10 degr. because this will happen if we don’t change now.
    For the Earth it dosn’t metter, the planet can survive, only the people and animals don’t have any chanse. . . . .

  • markbotv3 says:

    i agree with biugi more heat means more water. at least untill the glacier is completly gone. colder temps would just dry em out

  • markbotv3 says:

    LOL do you seriously believe its “as hot in winter as it is in summer” at 9000 ft?!?!?! that just dont make any kind of sense at all. where i live its most definatly colder in winter than in summer and im at 400 ft above sea level

  • markbotv3 says:

    supposing everyone in the world trades in their car for a prius and we do start to cool down the earth again. . . those chirpas will be FUCKED!!! because the warming has melted the glacier too high and now with the cooler tempratures there wont be ANY glacier melt till the glacier rebuilds which would take thousands of years. tibet as we know it would whither and die :( MCCAIN 08 =)

  • markbotv3 says:

    lol how hot can it get at 9000 ft? 50F tops ooooo thats a heat wave. and correct me if im wrong but wouldnt more heat mean more melt meaning MORE not less water for crops? MCCAIN 08 =)

    It is possible to change the world : Read the book of Jermy Rifkin Hydrogen Economy, and look to the video of the H2 Unversity, Universitá dell’idrogeno in south Italy. It is possible to change and belive to the HEW, The Energy World Wide Web.

  • Keor66 says:

    Global warming is true but it’s the SUN mostly that is causing it, the Sun has cycles that we know every 11 years but there may be bigger ones that we dont.
    In this the past decade the sun activity has been much higher than in the past several hundred years.

  • dauriaroberto says:

  • Biugi says:

    Yeah. . . Until the glacier’s gone altogether. . . then there’s a stop in melt water. . . Does it seem coherent, Einstein?
