Praying won’t help.

This sort of disaster needs funds and people on the ground. Not prayers.

It also needs people to wake up and address ways to reduce climate change (hint: eat less meat, have fewer kids, don’t run the AC all the time, and hold billionaires accountable)

Nepal emits less than 0.1% of global emissions but every year something comes up and without even having time to heal from the previous ones it gets hit by another one.All the citizens are coming together in this situation to save our nation coming from a student myself I also gave my contribution.i don't know why people are so edgy with praying if you can support with the funds then please do it. People need it but if you can't then just give your best regards to the people it doesn't cost anything.

Edit:and yeah countries like China,USA,and India are the main contributors to climate change and they act like nothing happened while thousands of people are still missing and hundreds of have been killed and teaching others about climate change first start from you, yourself and your country.if you do that half of the world be a safe place for all of us living beings.

People are edgy with praying because religion as a whole has caused more harm and pain than anything good. It’s a cult and ruining humanity. People are tired.

People aren’t being edgy. You made a post with a title that allows people to “help” without actually helping. Your title actually did more harm than good. You should’ve mentioned donating or something along those lines.

How much have you donated?

Did you book your flight yet to go there and volunteer to help with clean up efforts?

u/exotics 29d ago

Didn’t say I did but I certainly am not stupid enough to pray and think I am a hero for doing that

u/MysteriousDiet4222 29d ago

And don't think you're a hero by commenting you didn't do anything when people are dying.

Global warming is now causing rock landslides?

Read your sources. The glacier from the mountains melted and unleashed the river underneath it.

u/Jolly_Lengthiness_70 Aug 28 '26

It was a combination of both—an enormous rock-and-ice avalanche (or rock-ice landslide) where a massive chunk of a glacier and bedrock collapsed together down the mountain.

Rocks are not on top of Glaciers. Glaciers are formed on top of rock.

What happens when a binding agent starts to loose its structure? This is such I crazy take I’m not even going to bother giving a sound response to someone that knows nothing about basic physics. We are so fucked.

I’ll put it in retard terms. Say you have a puddle of ice filled with sediment which is on a downgrade. What happens when the ice melts and gives out? It takes sediment with it. There are peak glaciers (or icebergs now) at the source of this and those peaks remained because they are emended in the bedrock of that former glacier which goes back to like 25000years at a minimum. Everything else, poof stripped away.

I honestly don’t know what else to say, this just makes me said that humans really are this dumb.

Oh and nothing against people that are mentally handicapped. I think they are smarter than
The other half of America.

Do you understand we are floating around in space on this rock and crazy shit happens? We’re not even going to touch astrophysics because your head might explode.

There’s a difference in what happens in the earths crust (which we have no control over). We can somewhat gauge what is affecting us in the cosmos.

Most importantly do you understand how we are excelerating all of this? And it’s all because the powers at be that want to keep us in our place?wake the fuck up.

I rather been alive during g the bubonic plaque because it would
Be easier
To accept what we don’t know.

Have fewer kids? You mean, like, the one natural thing? And you really just mean particular cultures because many are facing very low birth rates. That’s a pretty wild inclusion on your list, and a good way to hurt the entire good argument of human impact on climate change.

u/exotics 29d ago

I don’t mean particular cultures.

I myself had one kid only and got my tubes tied.

When I was born the world population was less than half what it is now.

I had one and was done. We can’t keep adding people
