Moisture has become a luxury in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa where many locals are waking up to nosebleeds in the dry autumn, state media said on Monday as the Himalayan region faces growing threat of global warming.


"As it stands, there is little water component in the air in the Sunlight City which sits at 3,700 metres above sea level, making the weather extremely dry and things flammable," Xinhua news agency quoted the Lhasa Observatory as saying.

"The weather has also caused many Tibetans to wake up to nosebleeds."

The observatory has reported record low humidity in Lhasa since October while most of China's south had rainfall.

1. Preposterous! The weather's beautiful in my Costa Rican villa.

Global warming? Climate change? Bah, humbug!

BTW I've got trillions of Merkan tax dollars to build housing projects in Antarctica. See? Life is grand when you have a positive outlook and good friends!

2. I suppose we'll be seeing more weirdness in the coming years

Like the 2018 Winter Olympics in Scotland (heat wave in Austria) or a freak rainstorm in Sudan.

Things like this happen when you add massive amounts of heat to an already chaotic system.

Sadly, most will be surprised by it.

3. It took me 3 years to stop getting nosebleeds

when I moved out to NM. It was worth it. I'd left horrible allergies back east and I can't imagine ever living back there again.

I feel for them. I hope they get some moisture soon.
