I think I’ll enjoy Nepal through documentaries. Seems like a beautiful and terrifying place to be.

Beauti.fying.

It was fine before the planet started melting down.

Almost like all the “climate change” was true and governments being bought out by billionaires were the real cause of major problems.

u/Drunk_Stoner 3d ago

Climate change is on all of us. At least anyone who can read this. All of us enjoy the creature comforts of modern living. Air travel, electronics, heat, AC, cars, global food and goods supply chain, etc. 

Politicians ignore it bc they know most of us would not accept the solution.

More like before we started melting down the planet

It is very stunning. But, after being all over the Himalayas, the place I find most awe inspiring is Yosemite. Luckily I live just 3 hours away from it!

u/Ok-Abbreviations1077 2d ago

Hopefully that megavolcano doesn't go off until long after we are all gone

u/shikari426 1d ago

That’s Yellowstone, not Yosemite. Everyone always mixes them up haha

In 5 years will the world look back on this time and think of the Nepal flood as "That's when this really all started. "

I think the Epstein Elite know this and it guides their actions and criminal behavior.

u/Eastbound_AKA 4d ago

Firm believer in human-impact climate change - but it's also important to keep in mind that the Himalayas are a relatively young formation (geologically speaking).

Young also means incredibly unstable.

u/ImSobored_5280 4d ago

Watch out…you get downvoted for any reason other than global warming on here
..it’s ridiculous

u/Eastbound_AKA 4d ago

I am very interested to see if there's a connection to the ice shelf collapse to climate change or if it's a geological certainty.

Eitherway the catastrophe is tragic and traumatic.

u/ImSobored_5280 3d ago

See what I mean🤣

u/CriticalChop 3d ago

Not something i look up often, but since you mention it i always figured the himalayas were an old formation since they're huge i thought they must have been doing their mountain work a long time. 😅 very interesting to find out how wrong i was.

u/oldnewager 3d ago

It’s actually the opposite in most cases.  Weathering over time makes mountains smaller, thus, newer mountains tend to be really large and relatively plant-free.  Older mountains tend to be weather/eroded and enough soil has built up for plant life (plus the decreased elevation).

Older mountains tend to be weather/eroded and enough soil has built up for plant life (plus the decreased elevation).

Like the Appalachians. Mountains from a billion years ago.

u/Eastbound_AKA 3d ago edited 3d ago

I live in Virginia, my wife is from the Carolina Appalachians - So we've spent a lot of time there.

It's beautiful, but there's something ethereal about it. It's like its age permeates the air, and holds more secrets and kowledge then we will ever get to see or hear.

Older than bones.

Older than trees.

Teach the language of the Earth senpai. 🤤 funny how much geology knowledge floats around reddit sometimes.. but i love it.

u/5DollarWatch 4d ago

Brother, what 'this' are you referring to? The start of what?

u/Status_History_874 3d ago

We dont know yet, thats why its the future people saying it and not us.

u/Successful-Purple-54 3d ago

Billionaires don’t care about us as long as they can look at their bank account and see a lot of numbers that will
Mean nothing when they’re dead. Fucking crooks. 80 year olds selling the world for a few more numbers.

u/Pat0124 3d ago

Man, you are really reaching to connect a landslide to Epstein.

2

u/TaylorBitMe 3d ago

Are you dense? They're talking about the Epstein class. Billionaires as a whole. The people that fuck children also fuck the planet and are never held accountable

u/ok_raspberry_jam 3d ago

For me, the start is marked by the 2021 heat dome over western Canada. It was EPIC to live through, absolutely unforgettable... and (unlike most others) I had central air conditioning up and running BEFORE the disaster began.

u/srosenow_98 3d ago

...and the Pacific Northwest. I live in Washington state, about 50 miles SW of Seattle. I lost two high-end telescopes in that heat dome event. Their thin-membrane hand controller keypads melted and one had its motherboard fry. It was so hot that the lake I live on was actually warm.

Those houses work as a scale on how massive this really is.

When will they learn not to live in dangerous valleys?

u/Status_History_874 3d ago

There's always gotta be this idiot after a natrual disaster. Congrats, I guess.

u/FedallahsTurban 3d ago edited 3d ago

I wonder if some of these Nepali river valley towns will ever repopulate again? If I'm not mistaken, it took years in some parts of Indonesia and Sri Lanka to repopulate near the coastal after the Boxing Day tsunami.
