"Avalanches and glacial-lake-overflow floods are likely to become far more common in the Himalayas due to climate change,"
Syed Ayub Qutub - director of Islamabad-based Pakistan Institute for Environment-Development Action Research,
Several reports indicate that the glacial mass thinning and the formation of crevices in the western Himalayas and Hindu Kush is a result of climate change.
Last week, 135 men (124 soldiers and 11 civilians) were buried alive in an avalanche in the Gayari sector of the snowy region. Chances of finding survivors are close to none as rescue teams have been digging in the snow for nearly a week.
The world is changing; we do not need experts or head bangers to tell us that. If you can't see that then you are ignoring a fact.
It could be natural and unstoppable or it could be manmade, all so called experts back both theories, perhaps it's a bit of both, I really don't know.
What I am sure about, is that it is "man and greed" that is exploiting this world and everything in it and the world is suffering because of it.
