“Climategate” is now more than the massive fraud of one research institution.
Following the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit (CRU) data dump on November 19, many other issues with the political science of climate change are now being let out of the darkness. (See the complete Pajamas Media aggregator and document repository here, and find another PJM exclusive on research misconduct in the climate science community here.)
Most people following the climate change debate are aware that many sources claim that the Himalayan glaciers are disappearing “rapidly” — in fact, that they may disappear by 2035, a mere 25 years from now.
Today, in a guest post at Dr. Roger Pielke Sr.’s blog, Dr. Madhav Khandekar discusses this bit of folk science (Dr. Pielke is also the subject of an upcoming PJM interview....

MSM still ignoring the story. I can’t find it on the MSM sites. I don’t watch broadcast MSM News. Has anyone seen a story on this?
I know Krauthammer keeps saying it’s speculative and not ‘junk science’ but I think he’s being generous. I don’t find it scientific at all, it’s compeletely unscientific - arriving at a desired conclusion and attempting to prove it with falsified and dubious data.
At the present rate of retreat due to global warming, the Himalayan glaciers will disappear by 2350, not 2035 as has been reported.
And, following this logic, since it starts to cool off in the afternoon, by next year, if the cooling continues at the same rate, we should be somewhere near absolute zero.
I think that giving the IPCC the benefit of the doubt, that it was a simple error, is way too generous. How about “a deliberate effort to deceive”.....

I can’t believe this.
The IPCC site has Mikes hockey stick graphs. Plus they have many referrances to HIM as a source of authority.
UNBELIEVABLE.
Now I see why they are fighting so hard.
ME MANN is one of their MAIN authors.
The whole Corrupthagen meeting is a giant FRAUD.

...by about 600 years I understand. How they can continue to push this, and ignore natural cycles like solar output, variations in the Earth’s orbit, ocean shifts, etc., is beyond me.
“estimates 2350 as the year for disappearance of glaciers, but the IPCC authors misread 2350 as 2035 in the Official IPCC documents, WGII 2007 p. 493! “
Misread my foot!
Well well, the typos are unending.
I wonder if Mike had anything to do with this one?
A 315 year MISTAKE, yeah right.
Although, I hasten to add my guess is this cooling is going to be a short term event. At least I hope so, as I'm really not ready for the next ice age just yet.
What? Now people who make typos are responsible for global warming? I’m definitely srcewed — if they ban typos, I’ll have to stop psoting.
I'm a victim of dyslexia
Can't tell left from wrong my right!
Apologies to Pinkard and Bowden. I probably screwed up the lyrics.
I think what we'll eventually find when our scientists get off this AGW snipe hunt they're on, is that the driver of these long and short term cycles is solar cycles, perhaps with some other things going on, like changes in ocean currents.
Boy, if you're right about going into another Dalton-type minimum that means a few decades of cooling, which would really send these guys into a funk. 'Course, by the end of it they'd be talking about anthropogenic global cooling. :-))
Thanks for the ping.
