Hundreds trapped on Mt. Everest by massive storm, desperate rescue effort begins
New York Post1 day
Climate change is turning Everest into a death trap with melting glaciers creating unstable routes and unpredictable weather patterns. Rising temperatures are causing massive ice loss, making the Khumbu Icefall dangerously unreliable while increasing rockfall and avalanche risks throughout the region.
Everest's real problem isn't climate change but overcrowding and poor management that's turned the sacred mountain into a polluted tourist destination. With 900 climbers creating traffic jams and leaving tons of trash, the mountain needs permit limits and higher fees to control reckless commercialization.
