🌡In other words, snow that had been around at 18,000 ft on this mountain for at least 20 years have now melted.

“Climate change “ 😂

[@letsgobrandon987]

They literally have to make climate change part of every story. That’s their agenda.

Yes, climate change is melting ice and snow in the mountains:
Glaciers
Since the early 1900s, glaciers around the world have been melting rapidly due to human activities like greenhouse gas emissions. These emissions have raised temperatures, especially at the poles, causing glaciers to melt, retreat, and calve off into the sea. The rate at which glaciers are melting has accelerated in the last decade, and in 2023, the World Glacier Monitoring Service reported that glaciers lost ice for the 36th year in a row. If global warming is limited to 1.5°C, the world could lose around 50% of its glaciers by 2100, including those in the Himalayas, Karakorum, and Hindu Kush mountains.
Snow
Warming above pre-industrial levels could cause many mountainous areas to experience years with little to no snow more than 10 years in a row. During these seasons, there could be 10% less runoff each year. A study that assessed future changes in snowmelt under different emissions scenarios found that snowmelt could decrease by 6% by the end of the century if global warming is limited to 1.5°C, but could drop by as much as 40% if temperatures exceed 4°C.
