The planet is fine. We’re not. And the unfathomable arrogance it must take to imagine humans capable of preventing or altering the cycles of not just our earth but of the sun as well. It is not preventable, unfortunately. What is preventable is this continuing to perpetuate that the “science is settled” and all we gotta do is stop the CO2 emissions…from every source. Everything is cycles and patterns. In fact, it is entirely possible that by attempting to prevent this cycle we only exacerbate its affects. 12,000 yrs on average. Humans have survived many and we should survive this one as well.

It said even during a Grand Solar Minimum, the decrease in climate forcing would only be worth as much as three years of carbon dioxide growth in the atmosphere. NASA also said the impact of global warming would be six times greater than the cooling caused by the Grand Solar Minimum, and that even if the period lasted for a century, the planet would continue to warm."

Mans ego makes him believe it's humans changing the climates. They don't know precisely how quickly the glaciers moved south or retreated north. They are educated guesses.

A glacier is like a slow river. snow weight builds up at the top and pushes down and out, causing the glacier to grow outward. When it gets to a cliff, it calves off. The colder it gets, the more it will grow and calf. The planet is cooling. We are entering a grand solar minimum.

When snow gets cold it can become brittle. It ends up retaining its atomic mass better and can compact tighter formations of crystalized water molecules. The formations will hold added potential rest energy in plutonic shapes(depending on elevation's) primed for flowing. Between night and day there will be gas that slowly builds up in the snow layers. The Mountain is breathing in its own fashion.

Beg to differ. Infact renewable energy projects in Himalayas, are very safe and provide a balancing effect not only to the national grid, but also to the local ecology besides playing significant role in increasing the incomes of the locals by way of direct and indirect employment. The media is blaming hydro projects, which is not true. This incident might have happened due to geological fault in the high Himalayas or global warming and investigation is on. Why blame only hydro projects ? The whole world is polluting too much and the carbon residue is reaching as high as Mount Everest. Carbon residues have been found in the most inaccessible glaciers. How did they reach there ? The pollutant particles in the air don't choose any borders/country to visit. The whole world is to be blamed. Humans are the most cruelest animals.
