  1. Warming in the Alps has caused landslides and erosion to excellerate. I predict the same dangerous conditions will affect the climbers there as well. Educate your kids math science and physics it explains everything in our natural world. The Ideologies driving wars cause more carbon emissions than any country and big oil greed is causing climate change.

  2. 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

  3. 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 changeâ€Ļ. The fact that whatever things natural/artificial humans touch will surely get affected so please don’t complain when we our selves are responsible!!!

  4. 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.

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

    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 .
