In the past few days the scientists behind the warning have admitted that it was based on a news story in the New Scientist, a popular science journal, published eight years before the IPCC’s 2007 report.

Unbelievable ! They took the data out of a news story ? They never even called to ask the attributed source if he actually said it, let alone if there was actually data behind it ?

This is science so sloppy it doesn't even approach the level of grade-schoolers.

And these guys made how much per year ?

I spent many months in the Himalayas around Everest 1997 thru 2000. There is significantly more ice today then there was then.

Yep, it’s called ZERO integrity.

It's not just sloppy science, it's no science at all!
Meaning that there is no scientifically proven way to predict future climate changes, excepting the obvious probability that it will continue to change.

So in the absence of any empirically sound method of predicting climate change, these 'climate scientists' stoop to things as silly as referencing a mere opinion about melting glaciers, package and sell it as 'science'.

Maybe 'seance' would be a better description of how they come by their opinions.
