Won’t this be great once the earth warms up 5 degrees?
For a while, yes. But the whole reason why there is so much shit up there is that the low temperature keeps it from getting processed by micro organisms, no? So once that really gets going we should see a wholly new ecosystem up there of plants, fungi, and animals that previously never inhabited the area.
Note: this is my semi-educated take and I would love for an actual biologist to comment on how climate change will transform Everest.
It's the lack of oxygen up there too, and I don't think climate change will affect that
There's anaerobic decomposers, and plenty of organisms have wider tolerances than we do
Ooh when the ice melts, an 8 km high torrent of shit and disintegrating corpses will come down… hmmm.
