Save the Mountains 🇳🇵

[@karmamustangi1029]

Well climbing the mountains itself is also one of the reasons behind the melting of the glaciers. So climbers are also responsible for the climate change…. The fact that whatever things natural/artificial humans touch will surely get affected so please don’t complain when we our selves are responsible!!!

In my view now, Sherpas also changing their ways of lifestyle. We don't see depending Sephards with Yaks and ships ,goats, horses those help ecosystem.

Its funny how the Title of the video has been changed from : 'Sherpas :The guardians of Mountains' to the current Title. 😂

Great interview on Al Jazeera, but it’s disheartening to see you engaging with so called the environmentalist and mountaineer . These people exploit the slogan of climate change while ignoring its impact on the mountains. These people are mainly responsible for this damage. They use huge, fancy white dome tents that require over 20 people to set up, breaking down large chunks of ice at Base Camp for surface alteration and anchoring. They also bring big coffee machines powered by heavy-duty generators, affecting air quality, snow, and noise pollution.
They even have large flags that contribute to the noise, despite many complaints. Their focus is solely on VIP clients who demand luxury tents with attached bathrooms, TVs, and coffee machines at high altitudes. I feel very sad about this situation, as they've been raising these concerns for the past 10 years, and they are the only ones who care about doing business under this misleading slogan.
Please do better research and find individuals in the mountaineering community who have clean records and no involvement in such unethical practices.

Nepal Govt+ Sherpa+ GREED are the main reasons why Everest is in this horrible condition. 😢

[@at3963]

How are Sherpas responsible for this "horrible condition"?
So asking to get paid fairly for what you do is bad in your eyes. I think you should really think it through and consider your own beliefs if you really think that.

[@Oldiamondy]

@@at3963 Sherpa should pressure govt to reduce number of tourists but no they equally busy swimming in pool of Greed.

[@at3963]

@@Oldiamondy you know just 5-6 years ago before Nims purja blew up they were getting paid peanuts for what they did at such extreme working conditions. They are finally earning enough to earn a decent livelihood and you somehow you can't take it. It is very easy for you to speak from a privileged position but you don't know what the sherpas have gone through in the past. They are athletes who can do far more than what you will be able to do ever in your life. They are rightfully enjoying their hard earned money and no matter what you say they will keep doing it

[@Oldiamondy]

@@at3963 For the sake of the local people it's very important to protect the environment around Everest. A slight increase in temperature can decide the existence of the locals. Get fruits for generations instead of cutting down the tree for greed.

[@nishanpakhrin7392]

Yeah out of all People Sherpas are the one destroying everest.
If you've ever lived your life in an altitudes of 3 thousand metres you'd understand a slight hardships of sherpas

The only Guardians of mountains are the Dakinis, local Dieties & Spirits residing there.
Sherpas are responsible for destruction of the sanctity & serenity of Mountains by placing their greed first without any regard for the well being of the Mountains & its environment .

[@fuckbankers]

Sherpas should unionise.

Thank you Al Jazeera for deleting my post.
If this one disappears too then I'll know you are not quite so open minded as every thinks.

so funny : complaining about climate change with guy who earn a living with tourists flying there, and a woman who had to travel noth and southpoles surely with flying and consuming a lot of equipments

[@Silverrsurfer]

I think they get paid to talk about climate change.

[@at3963]

So are you going to provide employment to the Sherpas? What are you even talking about here?
You use electronic devices both personally and professionally, use heating/cooling for your house, all of which causes global warming directly or indirectly. Does that mean you also can never complain about it?

[@dreamer3954]

@@at3963Car ,Mobiel,and lots of things 😂

[@Ahdurun]

And complaining them in an electronic device which was possible cz of all those mining and transporting.

[@fuckbankers]

People climbing Mount Everest will now have to clear up their own poo and bring it back to base camp to be disposed of, authorities have said.

[@RohanGhalan-lv8md]

It's reason of global warming..... should understand globally people and special develop countries because of larger of Co2 produce.
