The congestion and pollution on Mount Everest

RAEL’S COMMENT:

With 8 billion people on Earth, we’re heading straight towards a catastrophe as everyone will dream of climbing the world’s highest peak, exploring the most beautiful islands, and admiring “wild” animals, resulting in traffic jams of jeeps transporting tourists to tiny groups of starving lions.

Two alpinists die on the summit of Everest.
These two alpinists are on the verge of losing their lives at the peak of Everest, in Nepal. For 30 years, the number of climbers attempting the mythical summit of Everest has been growing and has now doubled.
On April 21, a video taken at the summit of Everest was released, rekindling the scandal. It shows some alpinists trying to reach the summit again, while others are queuing up to reach the peak of Everest. Their struggle in this dangerous place led to a terrible drama involving six alpinists. Four of them managed to recover, but the other two lost their lives. This drama has been building up over an already difficult year. Four died and three were rendered incapacitated just after the New Year.
From April to early July, the most favorable season for rising temperatures, impressive alert files are created and videos are circulating on each network. The best month is still March, when the conditions are so good that “200, 300, 400 people are on the summit,” says alpinist François Carrel, author of “Himalayan Business.”
According to AFP, since April, no fewer than 500 alpinists have reached the summit of Everest. In 2023, more than 600 alpinists will risk their lives to reach the summit, and 18 will have died.
It is not only alpinists who have attempted this climb. This climb can be enjoyed not only by alpinists but also by mountain lovers. And this year, the French Inoxtag appeared and became a big topic.
