A Russian scientist reported in 1996 that the glaciers could melt significantly by 2350. This year was changed to 2035 in the IPCC report, according to Grahman Cogley, a professor of Ontario Trent University.
Pachauri now admits that the error was brought to his notice in December 2009 itself, but he was too busy to read it.
You can draw your own conclusions.
GLACIERS
All glaciers are above the snow line.
This means that the temperature at such heights never rise above zero degree. So how can the changes in the glacier contours be attributed to global warming?
Travellers have recorded hot springs right at the mouth of a Himalayan glacier, which means that the heat is coming from the interior of the earth. The whole area is full of hot springs . Those at Gaurikund, Yamunotry and Badrinath are familiar to pilgrims.
Blind assumptions are unacceptable in scientific studies.
