Actually, it was yesterday, but nonetheless — “progressive” warm-mongers hardest hit:
Himalayan glaciers are actually advancing rather than retreating, claims the first major study since a controversial UN report said they would be melted within quarter of a century.
Researchers have discovered that contrary to popular belief half of the ice flows in the Karakoram range of the mountains are actually growing rather than shrinking.
The discovery adds a new twist to the row over whether global warming is causing the world’s highest mountain range to lose its ice cover.
It further challenges claims made in a 2007 report by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that the glaciers would be gone by 2035.
Although the head of the panel Dr Rajendra Pachauri later admitted the claim was an error gleaned from unchecked research, he maintained that global warming was melting the glaciers at “a rapid rate”, threatening floods throughout north India.

Comment by jeb February 8, 2011 @ 8:10 amGosh, Jeb. I’m sorry if we have challenged your religious beliefs. But the science tells us something different. The polar ice melts in the summer and freezes in the winter as it has done for centuries. Professor Flannery is an enthusiastic promoter of the discredited theory of global warming, but his expertise is in mammalogy and palaeontology rather than in climate science or meteorology. Climate Change is normal. Climate is always changing–warming and cooling. We have been recovering from the Little Ice Age (1300 – 1850) which was a change from the Medieval Warming (900 – 1850) which was the finest weather known to man, and much warmer than today. Before that there was the cold Dark Ages, and before that the Roman Warming, and so on.
Let me suggest some reading: Climate Confusion and The Great Global Warming Blunder by Roy W. Spencer PhD, Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1500 Years,by S. Fred Singer and Dennis T. Avery, Heaven and Earth: The Missing Scienceby Ian Plimer. You might also find The Deniers
by Lawrence Solomon, Nigel Lawson’s An Appeal to Reason interesting. ClimateGate really put an end to the hype of global warming. The UN’s IPCC has been found to have played politics rather than science, and their claims of melting Himalayan glaciers (which really frightened the Indian people for they are dependent on the water) to be false. This is good news, for India and for the rest of the world. There is no reason for hysteria.

I’m not a climate scientist, but I have studied enough science to recognize the difference between real science and pseudoscience.
Right-wingers put their faith in anyone who supports their ideology, which includes denying anthropomorphic global warming. That’s what you’re told to do, so that’s what you do, just like little sheep.
Why not actually study science instead? Oh, yeah… that takes a little more effort.

Comment by Ben Hoffman February 9, 2011 @ 3:56 pmSorry, Ben. You are ill informed. ClimateGate (have you ever heard of that?) meant that the so-called “consensus” lost all credibility.
The scandal showed that the scientists at the CRU at the University of East Anglia were plotting with others in this country to hide, delete and manipulate data. They denigrated scientists presenting differing views in order to force journals to publish only papers that promoted alarm about global warming. They turned “peer review” into review by friends and made the reports of the IPCC no more than alarmist propaganda. It is detailed in A.S.Montford’s The Hockeystick Illusion; Climategate and the Corruption of Science.
The work of the UN’s IPCC has been largely discredited. They were found to be using papers from Greenpeace and ordinary mountaineers rather than the work of scientists. Their claims about African crop yields, the Amazon rainforest, Dutch sea levels, disappearing mountain ice, melting Himalayan glaciers –all wrong.
There is no evidence that mankind is changing the climate in a dangerous way. It was all a pack of lies promulgated by journalists. There were immense sums of money involved. The only accurate weather statistics we have come from the satellites monitored by the UAH. When you spout off, Ben, and don’t know what you are talking about, it is embarrassing.
CO2 is only a minor and beneficial trace gas in the atmosphere. The largest, most important and most extensive “greenhouse gas” is water vapor. We cannot forecast weather for much more than 7 days. The idea of a global climate average may not even be meaningful. How do we measure a global average?

Comment by The Elephant's Child February 9, 2011 @ 6:04 pm1. This post is about yet another claim by global warm-monger “scientists” that has been utterly debunked. And
2. No, its not a fact. It’s dishonest propaganda. Actually FAR MORE scientists signed a petition in support of NOT signing the KYOTO protocols than ever supported it.
I’m not against doing something to make the world a better place. But NONE of what global warm-mongers propose will make the world a better place. It has already and will continue to harm the economy in countless ways, causing unemployment, poverty, hunger and suffering, it doesn’t reduce pollution, it actually increases pollution and other economic harm, it wastes billions, gives government FAR too much power over peoples lives, which is what its all about to begin with. Vaclav Klaus, the President of a former Soviet Satellite, the Czech Republic, has said global warming is the new communism. And he should know.
Europe, as we are seeing now, has run out of money to pay for their welfare states. They support KYoto and other such initiatives because they are all aimed at redistributing money to their failed socialist states from the United States.
You have no facts, you have a phony, discredited religion that is nothing more than a facade for a money-grubbing, phony, failed ideology.

There was an investigation into those so called “scientists.” Many of them were nothing more than high school science teachers.
[Sorry, Ben. You are ill informed. ClimateGate (have you ever heard of that?) meant that the so-called “consensus” lost all credibility.]
Not hardly. The investigations concluded that there was no evidence of scientific malpractice and [the professor in question, Phil] Jones was cleared of any scientific misconduct. Source

What money? There’s far more money to be made in denying anthropomorphic climate change than defending it.

Comment by Ben Hoffman February 9, 2011 @ 7:16 pmGovernment Grants, Ben. The entire global warming alarmist industry is supported by government grants. Governments have been alarmed by the possibility of global warming and offer large grants to people who can write a good grant proposal to investigate warming. The average grant is somewhere around $150.000 to $200,000. There is NO money in opposing alarmist global warming, scientists who do are either very principled or self supporting. You are simply wrong about your assertion of scientists supporting KYOTO. Many who support global warming theory and are scientists (many are not) have no expertise in climate science. And many will admit that they have never really delved into the science at all, but just accept the general idea. Global warming is where the money is. Universities hire those who can bring in the grant money, and forgive the grant recipients anything.
The CRU at East Anglia was “investigated”by a bunch of bureaucrats who know no science and were appointed to do a whitewash. Jones has lost his reputation, as has Michael Mann, who was “cleared”by the university that hired him. Wikipedia is not a valid source for any information on climate science. Postings by scientists who denied warming were removed as soon as posted by the Wikipedia people. It finally became so blatant that the guy in charge of that sector was removed from that section by Wikipedia management and ordered never to write another word on climate, or climate scientists.
You are a typical troll, Ben. You’re an expert on everything, backed up by nothing more than silly sources like Wikipedia and too lazy to do any real reading. You make broad statements “no scientific body of national or international standing has maintained a dissenting opinion,” that completely misrepresent how science works. Science is not determined by “scientific bodies of standing” but by science that can be proved with evidence, and proved again by others. It is always changing and every “fact” must be challenged over and over. The IPCC was founded as a political organization. Go to their website, they say there that they don’t do science. They don’t have any programs and they don’t monitor climate. Take your Wikipedia misinformation and go annoy someone else. Arguing with an ill-informed Troll is useless.
