    Stories like this are dazzle meant to distract from human caused greenhouse gas emissions. Why was this published one week after thousands were killed by flooding in Nepal?

    Its obv that ppl are destroying the Everest ecosystem, but claiming their urine melts the glacier a few days after such a devastating event? Shame on them.

      Yeah I’m pretty positive that correlation does not have causation here as far as this article coming out. I think it’s just ill-timing for this scientific study to have been released. Considering it’s a study which means that it took months if not years to come to fruition it wasn’t like they just ran out there in the last couple of days and said oh hey look at this. I mean try having a little bit of critical thinking when it comes to stuff like this rather than just jumping to some idiotic conclusion.

        The journal Regional Environmental Change publishes many articles all the time. Its uncommon for one to make the popular news outlets. That’s what I’m saying.

        Use some critical thinking.
