Oops! The Himalayas Aren't Really Melting After All...


The Global Warming Fraud Continues to Unravel

The scary Himalayan glacier prediction (all melted by 2035!) was not based upon any scientific study, but someone's very unscientific interpretation of a telephone interview.

As Gomer Pyle would say, Surprise!  Surprise! Surprise!

Excerpts from Times Online:
A WARNING that climate change will melt most of the Himalayan glaciers by 2035 is likely to be retracted after a series of scientific blunders by the United Nations body that issued it.

In the past few days the scientists behind the warning have admitted that it was based on a news story in the New Scientist, a popular science journal, published eight years before the IPCC's 2007 report.


It has also emerged that the New Scientist report was itself based on a short telephone interview with Syed Hasnain, a little-known Indian scientist then based at Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi.

Hasnain has since admitted that the claim was "speculation" and was not supported by any formal research.

OMG Hugh!
This climategate scandal is because the scientific community is eager to report on evidence that supports their claims, but unwilling to accept evidence that refutes claims. This is destructive to progress in science.

It's like your reply to my comment on your post Demonizing Constitutionalists in the Military where you wrote, "science could do better with a dash of mysticism." I completely agree with you.

That is what my research for an article on The Problem with Science indicates. Apparently some amazing and controversial evidence that contradicts accepted 'world view' and has been completely ignored!

We need to open our minds!
Thanks for this post.

It's just a matter of time before the cash cow that was manmade global warming dries up and blows away.

When (not if) that happens, I wonder what new gig Al Gore can come up with to keep the cash rolling in?

Science is only as good as its scientists.
