I would guess they hitched a ride on a cruise ship.

There are seashell fossils in the Himalayas

You think there were shellfish living up there during a different climate?

Nothing humans do can change the warming of the environment, just as nothing humans do can change the shooting of children in schools. It's just nature taking its course. /s

Humans have tried lots of things to change or maintain the climate, including human sacrifices to appease the gods. The questions are the degree to which society is willing to make "sacrifices", and whether or not those sacrifices are actually making a long term impact or just spitting in the wind

On a somewhat lighter note you've stirred stirred memories of "I've Got a Little List" from G&S The Mikado: youtu.be

#5 So just do nothing?

"Sacrifice" is just performative BS?

Like praying for Rain? Or throwing Virgins into a Volcano?

I guess when Inciting murder is just ReTweeting jokes, meaningful efforts to stop global warming are just Futile performance.
