[OT] BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Himalayan melting risk surveyed
 

"A new weather station is expected to show the extent of warming in the Himalayas,
one of the world's biggest deposits of ice and a key source of fresh water.

It has been installed on the longest Himalayan glacier, in the Everest region of
Nepal."

Another heavily biased report from the global warning group:

"While we do know that there is a lot of glacier melting due to global
warming, we still need to know the exact causes and dynamics of such
melting," said Chandra Prasad Gurung, Nepal representative of the
environmental group WWF which provided the weather station equipment."

I would have said that the implications are more to do with the
deforesting of the region -and the resulting shift in the regions that
get cyclones and drought, was more likely the cause of glacial melting.
But who am I to argue?

Someone with a bit of clout write and tell them it takes 30 or so years
before anyone can jump to more than collusions when it comes to facts
from a weather-station.

They won't even read anything from a mere mortal.
