Hot on the heels of Climategate \u2014 the leaking of thousands of emails and computer files that show many of the world\u2019s leading climate scientists fudging the results of their global warming research and contriving to keep skeptics from being published in academic journals \u2014 comes what could be called Glaciergate.<\/p>\n

Prominent among the claims of impending environmental disaster in the UN\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

In 1999 the magazine The New Scientist interviewed an Indian climatologist named Syed Hasnain. He told reporter Fred Pearce that it was his \u201cspeculation\u201d that the Himalayan glaciers would \u201cvanish within 40 years as a result of global warming.\u201d Dr. Hasnain cautioned that the data on which his speculation was based had neither been published nor peer reviewed, Mr. Pearce noted his in his article.
