Original Note:
The claim that the glacier on Mount Everest has been unaffected by global warming is false. There has been plenty of evidence that shows rapid acceleration of the glacier melting. A number of stories emerged in early-to-mid 2022. For example: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/perpetual-planet-everests-highest-glacier-has-lost-2000-years-of-ice-in-30-years https://www.nature.com/articles/s41612-022-00230-0 https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-61828753 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-60259427
