Indian Climate Report: No GHG Signal in Glacier Retreat?
The Indian Environment Ministry has published a report (pdf) claiming that there is no greenhouse gas signal in the retreat of Indian glaciers. This isn’t the first time that the Indian government have issued an independent climate report that challenges the IPCC’s climate alarmism. I reported on the 2008 document entitled ‘National Action Plan on Climate Change’ here, where Section 1.4 dealt with ‘Observed Changes in Climate and Weather Events in India’ stating that, “No firm link between the documented changes described below and warming due to anthropogenic climate change has yet been established.” The pdf of that report is still available here.
The Guardian reports the IPCC’s annoyance with the latest Indian ‘discussion paper’ on galciers here: India ‘arrogant’ to deny global warming link to melting glaciers
