The IPCC caught again. They made it up. The glaciers in the Himalayas are NOT melting.
First Climategate, now Glaciergate from Lorne Gunter. (h/t) National Post
Hot on the heels of Climategate -- the leaking of thousands of emails and computer files that show many of the world's leading climate scientists fudging the results of their global warming research and contriving to keep skeptics from being published in academic journals -- comes what could be called Glaciergate.
Prominent among the claims of impending environmental disaster in the UN's fourth report on climate change, published in 2007, was the prediction that all of the 15,000 glaciers in the Himalayas could melt away by 2035. That's just 25 years away. Now the Times of London has discovered that this claim was not based on scientific enquiry, but rather on speculation. And old speculation at that.
This:
Ok, what you gotta say now, Al Gore, David Suzuki, Lizzy May and all you alarmists?
Update: Al Gore issues statement he misspoke about Arctic ice. (h/t) Timesonline "Al Gore tries to cool ‘climate spin’ by correcting claims of North pole thaw"
Since the warmists can pick and chose any magazine article to back up their claims of global catastrophe I guess it time for we deniers to do the same. Years ago I read an article (I believe it was in Sky & Telescope) wherein an astronomer pointed out that an increase of as little as 2 or 3 dust particles per cubic meter intervening between Earth and the sun could cause a decrease in the amount of solar radiation that Earth receives and would therefore lead to global cooling. He also mentioned that Earth was moving toward a particularly dusty part of the galactic arm in which we reside. Or how about this one? Astronomers have noted that, at the present time, the sun is in a very quiescent period. Sunspot activity, and thus solar flares, are at a very low level. As far back as they can trace reliable data, such low levels of activity have led to considerable cooling on Earth. The co-relation in the solar activity and temperature data are amazing. Good Grief!!! We are all going to freeze to death in a month or so!
