Eco India: What's causing the Himalayan glaciers to melt?

Every week, Eco India brings you stories that inspire you to build a cleaner, greener and better tomorrow.

Think of a glacier and chances are, it’s a gleaming white ice sheet that comes to mind. But from the High Alps to the Himalayas, the world’s glaciers are marred by a black, windblown dust that contains soot from fires and fossil fuel consumption. In the state of Himachal Pradesh, efforts to curb local emissions aim to save the glaciers that are a major water source - and tourist attraction.

seeing manali after such a long time! use to visit a lot till 10 yrs ago..
Nuclear + Electric seems the way to go for these pollution affected areas, dunno why the govt is slow in implementation. Modular reactors take like an year to deploy, we should procure some of them

[braunarsch]

as long as charging infrastructure is made proper, it will go well. without it, there will be no feasible transition to electric

#myth Its highly mistaken that Electric Vehicles/buses are better than Diesel vehicles. We commoners see shiny clean vehicles with no gases releasing from them, and we believe this is not causing pollution, and here we are mistaken. E buses are only (more)sustainable if they use green sources of energy which would be solar energy. I suppose most of the cities in India uses electricity from burning coal, which is not eco-friendly.

Fuel cell electric vehicles could be the best solution for the public transport.
