Corny - thank you for the correction, and your willingness to share information.
And who do you presume to be speaking for, you self-righteous little twit?
200 kilometers away, considering the curvature of the earth, yet you can see the entire mountain?
AND the earth is not flat....
AND its NOT the entire mountain visible....
Objects in a distance of 200km are visible if they are higher than 3100km. The Himalayas are a few meters bigger than that, I think. Big enough to see an "entire mountain". But that's science, you wouldn't understand.
You could answer his question politely, without assuming he is anti-science or stupid, douche bag.
Himalayas higher than 3100 km? Really? Satellites usually orbit around earth at about 100 to 400 km... 3100 km! Hehehe
I hope he meant 3100m, and wasn't thinking when typed.
It is a nice place btw. With very strange winds if you are into sailing.
Gains?
Billions of people were not allowed to work for a living. Children academically, socially and physically digressed. Governments around the world snatched freedom and liberty from their citizens and have no intentions on giving it back.
Everyone wants a cleaner planet but it can't happen over night and certainly not at such a brutal cost. You don't burn down the village to save it.
