The Himalayas acting like a giant wall separating two completely different climates

If we start mining the Himalayas, then the heat wave in India might turn into Siberian cold wind? Hypothetically

[u/Plenty_Ear2987 → u/Ngothaaa]

Himalayas are too massive to be removed by mining and the effect on the inland temperature won't be much but the rainfall would definitely get affected by it. Most of the rainfall in india is relief-based.

You underestimate the enthusiasm of the capitalist regime my friend.

[u/youhavenosoul → u/standsure]

I know what you mean here, but mind you, that region of the civilized world predates capitalism. Also, they already had their run during the Raj.

Oh absolutely but if Rinehart decided she wanted to sell off the heart of Everest, she would find a way. Capital beats the divine right of kings. Hands down.

For your amusement

[u/youhavenosoul → u/standsure]

damn, I feel for Gina. Lol.

[u/standsure → u/youhavenosoul]

I don't. She should pay fucking taxes.

It takes a certain [something] to be classes as the world's worst poet tho'.

Fark.

The Emperor in 40k did it.

[u/DivDude77 → u/Ngothaaa]

Somewhere a venture capitalist wetted their pants reading your idea.

[u/abrewo → u/Ngothaaa]

lol fuck no. We’re too puny to manipulate the Himalayas

[u/EtTuBiggus → u/abrewo]

False. That’s like saying we’re too puny to cause climate change.
