Happy day
The cold running water penetrates the heart. I, as if I were an intruder, was lapped by wave after wave of the ocean.
The cold running water penetrates the heart. I, as if I were an intruder, was lapped by wave after wave of the ocean. That was the first time I touched the sea, and the first time I saw the sea. Ah! That day, I finally saw the ocean I had dreamed of!
Ever since I was little, my mother had been telling me about the beauty of the sea! The magnificence of the sea! The vastness of the sea! Mom grew up by the sea, but she said she did not often see the sea. Because in the sea that beautiful appearance, but there is a dangerous heart. If the sea gets angry, it's no joke! ...... However, the more dangerous my mother said, the more I wanted to go. I don't know when I began to long to see the sea, obsessed with everything about the sea, and write with words to fantasize about what the sea looks like.
A few years ago, during the winter holidays, my uncle said to me, "Do you want to go see the sea?" "Of course I do!" I shouted excitedly! He stroked my head: "Then come with me." I immediately followed him and got on the motorcycle. The wind was howling in my ears, but I didn't seem to feel anything. The excitement of seeing the sea paralyzed me, and everything seemed so surreal. I faintly heard my uncle say, "This doesn't seem to be a good day to see the sea." "Why?" "Look, the sky is overcast, and soon a storm will come. It's not so good to see the sea in a storm." "It's okay, it's okay, I must see the sea!" I seemed to hear him say something like, "The sea ...... Is it still there ......" A soft murmur, swallowed by the wind.
When I came to the sea, what I saw was not the sea, but an unreachable wall, about 4,5 meters, too high for little me! I saw my uncle's brow was locked, the gaze, some anger? He muttered, "Is it starting so soon?" His eyes dimmed, this is the rhythm of going home! No! How can! So hard to come here! How can you go back like this! I defiantly skimmed my mouth. Suddenly, I was like a hungry wolf who had found its prey, and my eyes glowed. I found it! There is a place to climb over! I dashed towards the pile of oyster shells mixed with rocks and sand. I didn't notice the astonished eyes of my uncle and the police who had just arrived. I do not care how high it is! 5 meters or 8 meters! I don't care if it's safe or not! Anyway, I had only one goal: to go over the top of the mountain and rush to the coast!
I did not notice the rock I climbed over was shaking; I did not notice the anxious eyes behind me; I did not even notice the fresh blood on the rock behind me. Blood-red wounds on the hands increasing, so shocking! I didn't seem to feel the pain, the impatience that gripped me.
Ah! I climbed over! I finally saw the sea! The crystal blue sea was so transparent and so deep! It was tempting me to touch the high, cold water. Ice, ice to the bone! I felt a deep pain again. Only to see some faint red seawater around my hand. I smiled contentedly, seeing the sea, paying anything is worth it. A drop, two drops of rain sprinkled on the sea. I gently took my hand back and put it in my arms, a little cold. The sea was a little angry, it was hit with pain. A moment later, it roared, venting its injustice! The calm sea kept jumping and flipping like a clock whose laws were disturbed. As I was feeling, how shocked I was! I moved closer to the sea, let the waves how fierce lapping? I was incoherent, the shock was never to be forgotten! My voice was as dumb as a mute, I could not make any sound. Suddenly, darkness before my eyes, and I passed out.
After I woke up, I was already in the room, staring blankly at the dark ceiling, the sound of the seawater that roared, the angry look, echoed in my mind, can not forget ......
Incidentally, that was the first and last time I saw the sea. Because after that, it began to reclaim, and never recover that clear look ......
Ah! I finally saw the sea! Ice cold, your look ......

Himalayas Bare and Rocky After Reduced Winter Snowfall, Scientists Warn
The Himalayas, often described as the world’s “Third Pole,” are facing a dramatic and worrying transformation. Scientists are warning that reduced winter snowfall is leaving vast stretches of the mountain range bare, rocky, and increasingly vulnerable to long-term environmental damage. Once known for their thick snow blankets and powerful glaciers, parts of the Himalayas are now showing exposed rock earlier than ever before—an alarming sign of climate stress in one of Earth’s most critical ecosystems. A Visible Change in the World’s Highest Mountains Winter snowfall plays a vital role in the Himalayan climate system. Snow acts as a protective layer, insulating glaciers and regulating the slow release of meltwater into rivers during warmer months. However, researchers monitoring satellite data and ground stations report that recent winters have brought significantly less snowfall across large areas of the range. As a result, snowlines are rising higher up the slopes, leaving lower and mid-altitude regions exposed. This has turned once-white mountain landscapes into expanses of dark rock, which absorb more heat from the sun, accelerating warming in a dangerous feedback loop. Why Reduced Snowfall Matters Snow is more than a scenic feature—it is essential to the health of Himalayan glaciers. When snowfall declines, glaciers lose their main source of replenishment. At the same time, exposed ice and rock melt faster under direct sunlight. Scientists warn that this imbalance is speeding up glacier retreat across the Himalayas. Many glaciers are now shrinking at rates not previously recorded, threatening the long-term stability of water systems that support nearly two billion people across South and Southeast Asia. Impact on Asia’s Major Rivers The Himalayas feed some of the world’s most important rivers, including the Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra, Yangtze, and Mekong. These rivers depend on seasonal snow and ice melt to maintain consistent flow throughout the year. Reduced snowfall means less stored water for the dry season. In the short term, faster melting can cause floods and landslides. In the long term, however, shrinking glaciers could lead to water shortages, affecting agriculture, hydropower, and drinking supplies across multiple countries. A Growing Risk of Disasters Bare, rocky slopes are far more unstable than snow-covered ones. Snow helps bind loose material together, while exposed rock and soil increase the likelihood of landslides and avalanches. Scientists have already observed a rise in slope failures and glacial lake outburst floods in the region. As glaciers retreat, meltwater often accumulates in fragile lakes dammed by loose rock and ice. These lakes can burst suddenly, releasing destructive floods that threaten mountain communities and downstream infrastructure. Climate Change at the Core Researchers agree that climate change is the primary driver behind the declining snowfall. Rising global temperatures are altering weather patterns, causing more winter precipitation to fall as rain rather than snow. Even small temperature increases at high altitudes can drastically change how moisture behaves. Additionally, warming oceans and shifting atmospheric circulation are affecting the timing and intensity of winter storms that traditionally brought snow to the Himalayas. Effects on Local Communities and Wildlife Mountain communities that rely on predictable snowfall for farming, tourism, and water storage are already feeling the effects. Farmers report changes in planting cycles, while winter tourism has declined in some regions due to unreliable snow conditions. Wildlife is also under pressure. Species adapted to cold environments are losing habitat as snow cover shrinks. Plants that depend on snowmelt are struggling to survive in drier, warmer conditions, disrupting fragile alpine ecosystems. Scientists Call for Urgent Monitoring and Action Experts stress the importance of improved monitoring of snowfall, glacier health, and water flows across the Himalayan region. Better data can help governments plan for future water management challenges and disaster risks. At the same time, scientists emphasize that local adaptation alone is not enough. Reducing global greenhouse gas emissions remains critical to slowing temperature rise and preserving what remains of the Himalayan snow and ice. What the Future Holds If current trends continue, large parts of the Himalayas could see permanent changes within decades. Reduced snowfall and accelerating glacier loss may reshape landscapes, ecosystems, and human livelihoods on an unprecedented scale. The sight of bare, rocky Himalayan slopes is more than a visual change—it is a warning signal. The world’s highest mountains are responding rapidly to a warming planet, and the consequences will extend far beyond the peaks themselves.

Biochar: Unlocking the Potential for Climate Change Mitigation and Carbon Markets
Biochar is created through the process of pyrolysis, where organic materials such as agricultural waste, wood, or even certain types of plastic are heated in the absence of oxygen. This process breaks down the biomass into three main products: gas, liquid (bio-oil), and solid carbon-rich residue—biochar. Unlike organic matter that decomposes naturally, releasing carbon dioxide (CO₂) into the atmosphere, biochar locks carbon in a stable form that can persist in the soil for hundreds or even thousands of years.
