The Himalayas are visible from certain parts of India for the first time in 'decades' due to the reduction in air pollution caused by the country's coronavirus lockdown

Indians in the city of Jalandhar and the surrounding area have posted photos online of the views from their homes, with some saying they haven't seen the peaks of the Himalayas for decades.

The phenomenon is made possible by a dramatic improvement in air quality in recent weeks, after industries shut down, cars came off the road and airlines canceled flights in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Meanwhile the air quality in Jalandhar, which sits more than 100 miles from the Himalayas, has been measured as"good" on the country's nationalBy contrast, the same 17-day period last year failed to register a single day of"good" air quality -- and in the first 17 days of March this year, only three days saw"good" air quality.

We didnt need a carbon tax... just shut down the industry for a few months.

There is a silver lining-for Mother Earth

Mother Nature has punished us for our misuse of the planet and mistreatment of one another. Let’s change the narrative!

I think God is trying to show us something with this lockdown....

India 2012

Keep it that way no need or more toxic pollution up in the air and let the earth live a healthier life

Awesome news so fix to the world ending is a global six week siesta!

Waw..

Woww! So there's really a reason behind all these things. Time for our MOTHER EARTH to HEAL.

Don't take off your Hazmat suits just because less air pollution! 🤔☣️

Non tutti i mali vengono per nuocere

In terms of pollution shouldn’t we be discussing the impact of ‘war’ in the Middle East. Below plagiarised/stolen material used to promote New Labour and the Tories with fraudulent ‘donations’ via Cameron Mackintosh..

More photos shot in crowded locations...

Photo stolen later retrieved- a photo of the Himalayas shot by my mother prior to her unlawful death in 2004 - various crime reference numbers issued in connection with the fraud

Over a year ago, densely populated places in London and photos shot by holding my camera away from the crowds of people - each location looks deserted but was not!

BlueSkyDays17 There is a lesson here. Whatever 'normal' the world goes back to you, it should be a different one from the one we accepted before.

Am sure if this situation continues the Global warming effect will be reversed

Covid 19 is giving mother Earth a rest it needed so Badly 🙂

The world is healing itself

Have you considered that CORONA could be transmitted by mosqitos and dogs? The high speedy transmision is confusing

This is the only good thing that can come out of all this is the realization climate change is real! But we can help stop it!!!

The planet finally breaths..

Mother Earth is tsking it’s home back

It was so bad.

I feel that this is nature's way of saying us that 'party is over guys' and this just a beginning of nature's fury for what all we have done as in coming future we will experience more such difficulties which will pose a kind of existential crisis to humanity.

What if the whole lockdown is so the earth could breathe a little

CO2 is still climbing and at the same pace.

Unfortunately vice versa

One good thing is happening in this cursed year

Good news

If you CNN live in CPP can’t give the fake news like you talk to Pr. Trump

It's great to see this natural beauty.....

People of California ! It is your right to spend the economic benefits of your state for yourself, not for other states. Demanding your independence is your right and respectable and sacred . FIGHT FOR FREEDOM, STAND WITH CALIFORNIA!

Can we keep it this way?

CNN stop harass President Trump. You are fake news

Bull. Shit.

👏👏❤

GOOD

Sounds like BS.

It's CNN, they probably photo shop this photo.

The Wall

This is wonderful. Why would you give this up now? Make the Corporate,Greedy, self centered elites change and pay for their negligence. You must change your habits too. Do not purchase their irrelevant and polluting products. You can save yourself and your grandchildren.

Here in Brazil, CNN (Communist News Network) is: 'PERSONA NON GRATA' . The people against communist televisions Brasil and GloboNews Both have nicknames: CnnLixo (CNN Br trash) GloboLixo (Globo trash)

More fake news

We see the opportunity. The opportunity is in our hands. We must demand change. This will be hard for us. We will loose convinces. You did not need them anyway.

Mother Earth is enjoying social distancing.

Congrats to CNN they came in at the 22nd spot on cable just behind the Food Network. Great job boys!

Corona are getting reinstalling the earth

That is amazing! TrumpOwnsEveryDeath

Get a better picture ... with a pleasant foreground .

Turns out we just needed a few weeks. Cancel the green deal

Another positive of the COVID19 pandemic other than knowing the people living in home (stay home ).

Why are you using 'quotation marks'? Like 'Trump'?

If the temperature doesn't drop precipitously, man-made global warming will be debunked.

This is the Earth cleansing itself from humans.

wowwww

Now that is literally AWESOME!!!!!

zedibee ❤️

Exactly why CNN should go check it out in person. ASAP. Please.

Wow 😍 StayAtHome

En tout cas c'est l'homme la vraie maladie sur terre et non le covid-19.

Without human beings, the earth can become more beautiful, so where is the future of human beings?

Coronavirus is absolutely for human being, but on the other hand, beneficial and could be savor for the other creatures and environment.

OK CNN maybe we should keep the virus going longer.

Let's shut down the earth forever so we can save it for future generations to have no reason to live in.

Vai durar pouco ;depois da explosão do Kracatoa 🙄

At the coast of crashing a economy? Well ofc left wing CNN wants are economic state as low as possible, bc that hurts trumps slogan “keep American great!” You won’t win!

pollution is so low Moon landing conspiracy theorists are able to see the flag there without a telescope.

More agenda driven media. Picture is from a small town in CO.

China lied and people Died.....

Whaaaaat a second! Is this a boarderline positive story? CNN are you feeling okay?

Telecommute

Must be mind blowing for the younger generation who are seeing this for the first time. I'd be staring at that for hours .

ChrisCuomo Having 1.4 billion people crowded in a smallish country is hard. Who knew?

Wow.

GerberKawasaki Same with the Alps as seen from Berlin.

I wish I was there to see it. The Himalayas, the world’s highest mountain range, must be beautiful. Is the Mount Everest closed too. ? 🤔

Nice to hear good news for a change! 🏔

Then why are millions flying back to the UK then, err our free state health system, tell em to stay there for the view

Looks like the game of thrones wall 😏

GreatDismal Slowing down is a blessing, I repeat, slowing down...

GreatDismal People everywhere are seeing so many things for the first time. Our perspective has also changed with the changing climate

It's really good news😍

maybe we should do this lockdown thing more often

Earth sents Coronavirus to punish humanity。

Wow

What major country is leading pollution reduction? I’ll wait 🤪 Trump2020

Funny, I was just thinking how much better the air smells lately since, my birth.

Jeg synes bare vi skal fortsætte de her lock downs

Part of any Green New Deal should include facilitating ongoing remote work whenever feasible. Less traffic. Less pollution. Less stress. More than 1 day a week. All the time. Virtual companies are a thing.

A blessing in disguise.

The planet does not need people.

Next, you’re going to suggest India implement a permanent lockdown so people can see the f*ckin’ montains!

Gates wants to depop the world. Will test vaccine out on India first. 🤣

repairrestores1 Humans: We aren't the problem! Earth:

Nature is beautiful

interesting

God says replenish the earth...

A la Naturaleza le importamos un bledo y nos lo demuestra rápidamente. Hasta le mejora la cara si paramos un poco. Habrá que empezar a pensar en ser más humildes para garantizar nuestra propia sostenibilidad.

This photo looks doctored...

当这次疫情过去后,印度统计人口就容易了。

So good to know.

Earth is healing

Flat earth at the view

This what it could look like permanently if we all pay high tax (carbon tax) right! Pfffft

Wake up call for sure

Mother Earth is warning us!!

Time to go Heli ski

Nature has given us so much. But we need to take only what we need. Time to rethink our economies. It's us who will turn into patients wearing masks not nature.

Disgusting

That might be showing it’s human beings who polluted the air. Especially exhausted gas from the vehicles and factories would have been polluted the air.

China s balancing the eco system😀

WOOHOO

Interesting lockdown, nature rejuvenation

We need to keep this up until the earth heals itself. The earth is more important than us

Today,after experiencing various ideologies from communism to pretentious western liberal democracy, mankind does not feel at peace.Mankind is not happy.few eras in the history of mankind have witnessed such a strong desire for the sublime truth,for a Savior. ThePromisedSaviour

There’s truly always a silver line.

funny how it works when you take the human race out of the game show that all we do for greed is damage the world
