Himalayan glaciers not melting because of climate change, report finds
The Telegraph ^ | 27 Jan 2011 | Dean Nelson, New Dehli and Richard Alleyne

Excerpt only website: Himalayan glaciers are actually advancing rather than retreating, claims the first major study since a controversial UN report said they would be melted within quarter of a century.

Researchers have discovered that contrary to popular belief half of the ice flows in the Karakoram range of the mountains are actually growing rather than shrinking.

The discovery adds a new twist to the row over whether global warming is causing the world's highest mountain range to lose its ice cover.

It further challenges claims made in a 2007 report by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that the glaciers would be gone by 2035.

Not to worry, Al's new California mansion is perched to give him a snazzy view of icebergs that come his way via the ocean. Ironic he'd lament so much about globull warming and then in total hypocracy MOVE someplace (CA) where the climate was already WARMER than most other states.

"You mean...Al Gore doesn't know what he's talking about???"

You're right not to rely on me for that message, just ask everyone freezing outdoors, wrecking their cars on the snow and ice, and dreading the next snow/ice storm coming their way. I'm positive they'll give you their honest opinion about Al Gore's integrity and the trust they have in his "predictions."

Does Al Gore believe his own predictions?

Al Gore recently bought a $4,000,000 condo in Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco just feet from the sea. He obviously can't be to concerned about his own prediction of a 6m rise in sea level can he!

Can anyone take this guy seriosuly when he doesnt take his own predictions seriously?
