Natural Variability May Drive Pine Island Glacier Melt

British and international boffins, having probed an Antarctic glacier which is thought to be a major cause of rising sea levels worldwide, report that increased polar ice melting may not be driven by climate change. The Register: Antarctic glacier melt maybe ‘not due to climate change’ Observations beneath Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica and [...]

Swiss Alps: Glacier Surface Mass Balance Linked to AMO

Thirty new 100-year records of glacier surface mass balance, accumulation and melt in the Swiss Alps are presented. The time series are based on a comprehensive set of field data and distributed modeling and provide insights into the glacier-climate linkage. Considerable mass loss over the 20th century is evident for all glaciers, but rates differ [...]

Global Warming Has No Impact on Himalayas

Senior scientists at the Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology (WITG) has rejected the Global Warming Theory and told that the Himalayas are quite safer zone on earth, where Global Warming has no role in controlling the conditions. In an exclusive chat with HT, Director WIHG Dr AK Dubey has said that the conditions of Himalayas [...]

Mass Loss from Alaskan Glaciers Overestimated?

ScienceDaily (Mar. 3, 2010) — The melting of glaciers is well documented, but when looking at the rate at which they have been retreating, a team of international researchers steps back and says not so fast. Previous studies have largely overestimated mass loss from Alaskan glaciers over the past 40-plus years, according to Erik Schiefer, [...]

New Glaciers Discovered in Albania

A team of British geographers has discovered a group of previously uncharted glaciers in an inhospitable European mountain range. The academics from Manchester University found the four glaciers in the Prokletije or “cursed” mountains of Albania. They have formed at an altitude of 2,000 metres, relatively low for such a southerly latitude. Other glaciers at [...]

Glaciergate: Rate Of Himalayan Glacier Melt ‘Practically At A Standstill’

India’s environment minister, having faced accusations of practicing “voodoo science” (by UN IPCC Head Pachauri), has been vindicated with the Nobel Prize-winning United Nations climate body’s prediction that the Himalayan glaciers would disappear by 2035 being exposed as inaccurate speculation. After suffering blows from the “Climategate” scandal and the tumultuous and essentially failed Copenhagen climate [...]

Round-Up of UN IPCC ‘Glaciergate’

CNN: U.N. climate chiefs apologize for glacier error The Guardian: Claims Himalayan glaciers could melt by 2035 were false, says UN scientist (CRN note to the global warming industry’s Bob Ward – doubts about the IPCC reports aren’t based on ‘one error’ but on the entire IPCC process) Seattle Times: UN climate report riddled with [...]

More Trouble for Beleaguered IPCC Head Pachauri as India’s Top Glaciologist Demands Apology

NEW DELHI: India’s senior-most glaciologist V K Raina today said the chief of the UN climate body should apologise to the scientist fraternity for dubbing their work on melting of Himalayan glaciers as “voodoo science”. Raina’s demand comes even as the UN body, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change (IPCC) headed by R K Pachauri, deliberates [...]

Daily Express Still Leading The Way on Climate Realism

The International Panel on Climate Change was forced to admit its key claim that Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035 was lifted from a 1999 magazine article. The report was based on an interview with a little-known Indian scientist who has since said his views were “speculation” and not backed up by research. It was [...]

UN IPCC Melting Himalayan Glacier Nonsense Goes Mainstream

A WARNING that climate change will melt most of the Himalayan glaciers by 2035 is likely to be retracted after a series of scientific blunders by the United Nations body that issued it. Two years ago the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a benchmark report that was claimed to incorporate the latest and [...]
