Note also that the Himalayan glacier error was sparked not, once again, by the denial lobby, but by glaciologists who knew from their own research that the disappearance of all Himalayan glaciers by 2035 was virtually impossible.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Click source to read more of this rather daft report, someone should inform the author that science has to stand up against scepticism.
