You mean getting an obscure scientists opinion while talking to him in a bar doesn't count as research?
(ok - so maybe they weren't in a bar)
To help correct the damage, which can never be completely undone, the IPCC should purchase prime-time blocks on every major media outlet in the world, and publicly state that not only are their claims about Himalayan glacier melt untrue, but also that they are withdrawing all of their prior reports pending investigation into the so-called "science" underpinning them. It's far past the time to give them a pass on their pseudo-science!
ONLY SORRY THEY GOT CAUGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crow tastes like chicken. Really dry chicken
It won’t matter how much proof that CO2 does not cause global warming (change). Tax dollars continue to fund unbelievable research.

“Let’s see. We had a glacier here just a moment ago. Now, where did it go? Oh! Here it is. Oh! You nasty little glacier, You; hiding from the satellite.”

Well, they admit that one paragraph of an enormous report was flawed. And they regret publishing data that could easily be proven to be bogus. But they stick to their basic lies. And they still want to be paid a trillion dollars in taxpayer cash.
