Global Warming

[srijantje]

well,i'm looking out of the window at a second year without snow.

thats because your an arab :p

jk.

i heard somewhere that much of the water that comes from the peaks of the Himalayas as melt water, has stopped up because the glacier on it has all but disappeared.. that the ice line is a lot higher than can ever be remembered.
have you see it with your own eyes?

as you maybe know i work as a trekking guide so i spend about 4 months a year up in the mountains at various places,and i must say there is a big difference in snowfall and glaciers are retreating pretty fast,it's noticeble even in the short timespan of about 30 years.where i live we used to get appr.2 meters of snow every winter and it would lay on the ground for months,in the last 15 years it'll snow a bit,melt away and get a bit more,not good enough,springs drying up,powercuts because the dams run out of meltwater etc.last 2 years it didn't snow at all.
