The Pashmina goat herders in a struggle against climate change

Ladakh, India

At an altitude of more than 14,000 feet, where winter temperatures can fall to minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit, it is hard to believe anyone, or anything, can survive in the vast ice desert that is Changthang, on the Tibetan Plateau between India and China. Situated between the Himalayan and Karakorum mountain ranges, it is the highest permanently inhabited plateau in the world, and home to an extremely hardy and rare breed of goat -- the Changra, or Pashmina goat.

Rearing these valuable animals in such inhospitable conditions are the Changpa people. For centuries these nomadic shepherds, who are as hardy as their animals, have roamed"the roof of the world," moving their herds of yak, sheep and goats along traditional migratory routes every few months in search of fresh grazing pastures.

How painful I guess for so many people to have to read any thing about the world we all live in. Sad that the box they choose to live their insignificant cosmic life in this lifetime will be forever be kept limited with no possibility for growth.

I blame climate change for creating CNN

Another dramatic visual effects to promote a farce to climate change. Man has no ideal of how climate has changed for trillions of years. Climate has been changing with no help of man. The truth is man has made Earth his garbage heap. This is what a real hoax looks like.

Lol....keep believing it!

Deliberation of climate change

Oh please. Women are turning to prostitution too. There isn't a single thing you won't blame on global warming. We've never seen a tornado or a hurricane before Al Gore started this whole con.

😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Man-made climate change isn't real.

What is that?

I stubbed my toe this morning. Is climate change to blame?

Mad ooo

Jane Fonda on how Greta Thunberg inspires herActress and activist Jane Fonda tells Chris Hayes how Greta Thunberg’s fiery speeches were a part of the inspiration for her weekly “Fire Drill Fridays” climate change protests.
