Urinating in public is bad enough. But a spectator went too far at a concert of American country singer Morgan Wallen at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland, on 18 July.

Jayson Reed, 33, of Wilson County, North Carolina, was charged in Baltimore City District Court on 18 August with public urination, indecent exposure and second-degree assault on four people that he peed on during the concert.

One of the victims, Troy Grevelding, recalled the incident to CBS News Baltimore.

“I just looked, and at that point his pants were completely down. He was urinating all over me, all over my wife,” Grevelding told CBS News.

“I was freaking out and the guy was just telling me, ‘It’s OK, man. It’s OK, brother,’” Grevelding said.

Meanwhile, the scientific journal Regional Environmental Change reported on the impact of humans on Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak that draws thousands of climbers every year.

Based on the study by an international team of scientists commissioned by Nepal’s Survey Department, climbers are melting the Khumbu Icefall, a shifting glacier at the Mount Everest Base Camp.

An estimated 154 tons of ice and snow are melted yearly by climbers’ urine, according to the study. The figure was calculated by researchers in the spring of 2023, when roughly 2,000 people at the base camp peed a total of 338,299 liters during 50-day climbs.

When coupled with the thousands of gallons of gas used by climbers for heating and cooking, the melted ice figure jumped to 2,492 tons — enough to fill an Olympic-size swimming pool, New York Post (NYP) reported.

The scientists called for the relocation of the camp to an ice-free site to mitigate the human-induced glacier melt, according to NYP.
