PeterA, did you check the IPCC report yourself, or just rely on the "believoshere" for your information?

I don't normally post links, but I think here your favorite propaganda site is trying to pull the wool so to speak. They are a well known biased site.

Here's another "Two years ago the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a benchmark report that was claimed to incorporate the latest and most detailed research into the impact of global warming. A central claim was the world's glaciers were melting so fast that those in the Himalayas could vanish by 2035." http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article6991177.ece

"a central claim"

Just a newspaper, but you can basically find whatever you like on the internet, so it's best to go to the source.

It all depends where you get your data doesn't it?

cheers

The BBC a long time Global Warming advocate is going 'cool' on climate change albeit reluctantly.

Nature the previously aggressively pro AGW science magazine is also becoming less certain.

The IPCC has recently admitted serious errors in its report.

Watching the support slowly fall away is a most fascinating spectacle.
