Actual science beginning to enter Global Warming debate

When people lacking an international socialist/communist agenda looked at the projections that Himalayan glaciers would vanish by 2035, they went, "What??!" Finally, the UN has agreed to revisit the issue. Reuters:

    Other experts have said the 2035 projection was not based on peer-reviewed science. In London, The Times newspaper said the Indian scientist who first made the Himalayan thaw projection in 1999 now acknowledged it was "speculation."

    [...]

    Ramesh said he had been accused of "voodoo science" in questioning the IPCC findings about the Himalayas in the past.

    The IPCC's 2007 report said: "Glaciers in the Himalayas are receding faster than in any other part of the world and, if the present rate continues, the likelihood of them disappearing by the year 2035 and perhaps sooner is very high if the Earth keeps warming at the current rate."

The year 2035 is only 25 years in the future, and nothing we humans do between now and then will have any impact on the situation -- these things take time. So, if the glaciers are gone in 2035, then the doomsday prophets will have been proved right. If they haven't vanished, we will have even more concrete evidence that they're out of their minds.

Sadly, you are missing the point, Mr. Long.

It's not there is any factual basis to climate change. It's only that one "has to believe."

Believe, Don, Believe. Click the heels of your shoes together three times and say, "I believe in global climate change and it is all due to humankind."
