The United Nations' expert panel on climate change based claims about ice disappearing from the world's mountains on a master's dissertation and an article in a mountaineering magazine, The Sunday Telegraph reported yesterday.

The revelation comes just days after the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change apologized for the "poorly substantiated" prediction that Himalayan glaciers will disappear within 25 years, based on a 1999 magazine article that quoted a single Indian glaciologist.

No doubt over the years these climbers may also have noticed that they get tired easier than they used to, and that their hair is more gray than it once was.

Global warming?

"But there is no reason why anecdotal evidence from climbers should be disregarded, as they are spending a great deal of time in places that other people rarely go and so notice the changes," he said.

If I say, "Last Winter was the coldest I can remember for 80 years", they'd have my head --

1) We don't need anecdotal evidence -- that's not science!
2) Has your data been peer reviewed???

Apparently "Climber's Weekly" is a peer reviewed journal. Who knew?

Conversely, if you stated that it was the warmest winter that you can remember, then you would receive a research grant.

I’m surprised they didn’t cite Classic Bike.

I, myself, can attest to the effects of Global Greying.
