Don't forget china as well. Are they setting fire to sh.t too ??
Of course they are. Villages use whatever is available to cook. You expected transmission lines out there as well?
"Glaciers in the Himalayas and on the Tibetan Plateau are rapidly melting. Black carbon soot from power plants and fires that falls on the snow and ice there is one reason why, and now scientists say they know where it’s coming from.
Chinese glaciers are melting at accelerating rates.
Scientists had long assumed that India and China—two of the world's leading sources of black carbon pollution—were responsible for what fell on the glaciers in Tibet and the Himalayas.“Modeling and atmospheric circulation suggested that black carbon might be from surrounding regions,” says Shichang Kang in an email. He studies glaciers at the Chinese Academy of Science and led the research project.
Instead, he found that a lot of the black carbon is local. While power plants in China and fires in India do contribute black carbon, in the remote interior of the Tibetan Plateau it appears to come mostly from burning yak dung and other immediate sources."
