 DYEING '''

!WOW! : THE GLOBAL FOUNDER FRAMERS - bow their heads and thank Almighty God for plateauing the '' Global Epidemic of Moral Cowardice. '' So, where by the way is Merium, Aqsa, Haider, Ali, Ehsan, Vishnu, Lakshmi........?

And with that The World Students Society - the exclusive and eternal ownership of every student, every good human in the world, - rises, to give :

Esteemed Tucker Carlson, Esteemed George Galloway, Esteemed Karan Thapar sahib, Esteemed Hassan Nisar sahib, a standing ovation. !WOW! ever thanks them all for their lifelong honours. 

GRACIOUS SIRES : THE ICE OF THE HIMALAYAS IS WASTING AWAY. Glacier-draped slopes are going bare.

The ground atop the mountain range, which sprawls across the Asian countries, is slumping and sliding as the ice beneath it that held the land together disappears. Meltwater is puddling in the valleys below, forming deep lakes.

As humans warm the planet, so much ice has been erased from around Mount Everest that the elevation of the base camp in Nepal, which sits on a melting glacier, has dropped more than 220 feet, or 67 meters, since the 1980s.

But this loss is not unfolding gradually, in a steady trickle. Often it begins slowly, imperceptibly - and then happens all at once. That was how it went on a warm August day last year.

THAME, a secluded village of 370 people, sits in a valley in the Everest region. Glacial melt had been pooling in a high spot above the village for years. The resulting lake was so remote that nobody had given it a name.

That summer day, rocks from the surrounding mountains fell hundreds of feet and landed in this lake, displacing an enormous amount of water. The water rushed down the valley and into another lake, heaving up more water.

Soon, 100 million gallons were coursing downhill. Toward the village. People in Thame heard the crescendoing roar.

By the time the water raged through, it was like a swath of the village had never existed. The medical clinic, gone. The school, destroyed. Two dozen homes and trekking lodges, and field of potatoes - all gone.

Months later, a scientist named Scott Watson was walking the flood's path in reverse, up the steep valleys, up past mud-encrusted books in the ruined school, up to the unknown lake that had suddenly made itself very known.

All across the fast-warming Himalayas, melting glaciers are creating thousands of high altitude lakes - and, in effect, thousands of new opportunities for avalanches and earthquakes to cause destruction.

When falling rocks or snow land on a frozen glacier, nothing much happens. But as the ice melts and forms a lake, those same falling objects can trigger a flood, menacing villages, tourist lodges, hydropower plants and anything else in the path.

Dr. Watson, a glaciologist at the University of Leeds in England, and his team were trekking through the Everest region to measure as many glacial lakes as they could, with sonar, drones and a blowup Kayak.

Sitting in their Kayak on these serene-looking lakes, the scientists found them anything but placid. The ice cliffs were leaking noisy streams of fresh meltwater.

Rocks and debris were tumbling in. Behind heavy clouds, unseen landslides rumbled all around, like rolling thunder.

The death of a glacier is widely understood to be a tragedy, a loss reversible only on geological times scales, mourned like the death of a species.

But before a glacier is gone - while it is still in the process of dying, it represents not only a loss but also a threat.

The problem is the meltwater. As a glacier shrinks, it sheds water that gathers in the earthen bowl  where the ice once sat, forming a lake. But the dirt and rock around this bowl are loose, crumbly.

And so maybe one day there is a landslide. Maybe a chunk of glacier's remaining ice breaks off and plummets into the water.
