Climate change has led to a serious problem with ... human feces

In the Denali National Park in Alaska, there are now over 66 tons of frozen rumps, left there by climbers for years gaining the highest peak in North America.

And although this information sounds like a bad joke, nobody will laugh at it when all the droppings start to come to light. And that there will be no doubt about it, because our climate is changing and we are not able to stop global warming. So what to do with this stinking problem, which is going to intensify in the next few years ?!

Fortunately, there were companies that took the matter seriously and some of the people involved in guiding people in the mountains agreed to pack their feces, instead of leaving them in the national park, not to aggravate the problem of pollution. This is another step after last year's regulation of the agency for conservation of natural objects, which ordered that all human waste below the height of 4,267 meters, must be taken from the mountain slope.

According to Michael Loso, a glaciologist at the National Park Service: - Very soon there will be a very unpleasant view of climbers, because the piles will come out to the surface. And they will not be different than when they were buried ... But it's not only about the aesthetic problem, because they will also be biologically active, there will even be E.coli bacteria. We expect it will not look good and smell good.
