    more of just scare tactics than fabricating data really.

    and the skeptics are the ones that are on the wrong side of things?

    They made a couple of errors, easily admitted to them...but, no, it's a conspiracy.

    Funny, I never hear anything out of your mouth about Bush-era "conspiracies"...

    You keep believing it and maybe it will make it right. In your head.

    Didn't the great lakes get formed by glaciers advancing and receding multiple times over millions of years? No doubt the planet has cycles we haven't been around enough to notice.

    Oddly enough, maybe not, they do not provide any evidence or data to suggest the accidental (not fabricated) claim of 2035 is innaccurate.

    I guess we'll know in 25 years.

    The 2 glaciers I've seen in person have both shrunken dramatically since my youth.

    Yes it does have cycles. :sherlock:

    Species come and species go. :sigh:

    No need to be lemmings and speed up the cycle. :tsktsk:

    That's not what I said, but that's pretty typical of your posts.

    funny that global warming disbelievers say there is no scientific proof, yet they generally believe in god which can not be proven at all.

    silly.

    You mean "report fail."

    Glacier scientist: I knew data hadn't been verified

    The scientist behind the bogus claim in a Nobel Prize-winning UN report that Himalayan glaciers will have melted by 2035 last night admitted it was included purely to put political pressure on world leaders.

    Dr Murari Lal also said he was well aware the statement, in the 2007 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), did not rest on peer-reviewed scientific research.

    In an interview with The Mail on Sunday, Dr Lal, the co-ordinating lead author of the report’s chapter on Asia, said: ‘It related to several countries in this region and their water sources. We thought that if we can highlight it, it will impact policy-makers and politicians and encourage them to take some concrete action.

    ‘It had importance for the region, so we thought we should put it in.’

    You're right!

    The snow on Mt. Kilimanjaro is not almost gone and the poles are not melting. Who you gonna believe, some "scientists" or your own lying eyes?
