Geez, the Himalayan glaciers won't melt away after all.
Read this article to see how the IPCC comes up with their "science". Your schools have been driven by this kind of junk science for decades. Now a whole generation believes in this drivel.
Two years ago the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a benchmark report that was claimed to incorporate the latest and most detailed research into the impact of global warming. A central claim was the world's glaciers were melting so fast that those in the Himalayas could vanish by 2035............Hasnain has since admitted that the claim was "speculation" and was not supported by any formal research. If confirmed it would be one of the most serious failures yet seen in climate research. The IPCC was set up precisely to ensure that world leaders had the best possible scientific advice on climate change.............When finally published, the IPCC report did give its source as the WWF study but went further, suggesting the likelihood of the glaciers melting was "very high". The IPCC defines this as having a probability of greater than 90%.
Wonder if this factoid will make it into Wikipedia's global warming page.
Wonder if Al Gore will update his presentations.
Wonder if school textbooks will be re-written.
Wonder if the Governor, the DNR or the stupid global warming task force seen this.
