The UN panel on climate change warning that Himalayan glaciers could melt to a fifth of current levels by 2035 is wildly inaccurate, an academic says. J Graham Cogley, a professor at Ontario Trent University, says he believes the UN authors got the date from an earlier report wrong by more than 300 years. He is astonished they "misread 2350 as 2035". The authors deny the claims.

Hello democrat party crooked media:
HOAX! HOAX! HOAX! HOAX! HOAX! HOAX! HOAX! HOAX! HOAX! HOAX! HOAX! HOAX! HOAX! HOAX! HOAX! HOAX! HOAX! HOAX! etc etc
Implausible deniability. They switched the numbers on purpose.
Liars. Damn liars, every one of them.
Soylent Green is PEOPLE!
To prevent duplication, please do not alter the published title. Thanks.
Don’t worry. Glaciers are reportedly receding in Bolivia outside the capital of LaPaz. Guess the little commie Morales didn’t centrally plan on this happening.
Bon starvation, my comrade.
Oh, by the way, Yetis were seen surfing on the Ganges River. That means there’s plenty of water there.
Surfs up, dude!
You mean Soylent Green isn’t a form of Jello? Oh the horror of it.
Please don’t tell me it is green Tofu!
A number of media outlets had a similar kind of “spinlexia” in GWOT articles, switching the dates 1998 for 1989... it just so happens that it was always when the item at issue was something which would have made Clinton look bad.
When asked how this "error" could have happened, RK Pachauri, the Indian scientist who heads the IPCC, said: "I don't have anything to add on glaciers."The IPCC relied on three documents to arrive at 2035 as the "outer year" for shrinkage of glaciers.
They are: a 2005 World Wide Fund for Nature report on glaciers; a 1996 Unesco document on hydrology; and a 1999 news report in New Scientist.
Incidentally, none of these documents have been reviewed by peer professionals, which is what the IPCC is mandated to be doing.
Murari Lal, a climate expert who was one of the leading authors of the 2007 IPCC report, denied it had its facts wrong about melting Himalayan glaciers.
But he admitted the report relied on non-peer reviewed - or 'unpublished' - documents when assessing the status of the glaciers.
Why is a glacial retreat any different than a river bed drying up ?
Neither means the end of the world.
Gee, you mean Time Magazine isn't telling the truth?
