      Thanks for the second edited picture which explains thermal red for hot and thermal blue for cold.

      Why not just bomb the Himalayas?

      Indian and Chinese can easily meet up to drink and dance

    3. I’m just imagining how badly the smell of hot garbage would be south of those mountains, and it’s making me feel unwell.

      Nepalese people suffer the most from this massive wall while contributing little to global warming and pollution.

      I mean there’s also the extreme elevation difference but yeah sure

    6. “Mountains are dams in the sky” my 5th grade geology teacher repeated, what seemed like, everyday. 

      It’s one of those phases that my brain just plays like a broken record.

      The Himalayas compel the rain-bearing winds to shed their moisture in the foothills of Himalaya which is a major source for the river Ganges. The Himalayas also compel the bitter-cold Siberian winds from entering Mainland India

      If it wasn’t for the himalayas, India would probably be a desert. Look at the other countries that lie in the same belt.

      Which is extra interesting because it’s barely a bump in the grand scheme of things. Like you zoom out earth is basically smooth.

      When you drive from Siliguri to Darjeeling you FEEL the change in humidity, temperature and air pollution in real-time. It’s weird and amazing.

      Is the Himalayas the reason why Indians have a darker complexion relative to the Nepali?

      Just like the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa. The west side of the country gets cold fronts in winter while the east side stays hot during the same period
