Himalayan Glaciers Are Not Melting 

Jan. 22—When the Copenhagen Summit on Global Climate Change came to naught last December, by the action of a bloc of nations (China, India, South Africa, and Brazil), which refused to accept a binding diktat on carbon emissions, the promoters and benefactors of the global warming fraud were left in a tizzy. However, the worst was yet to come: when on Jan. 22, the Nobel Prize-winning UN-propped-up Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was forced to eat crow, and admit that the Himalayan glaciers, which it had claimed would be melted by 2035, were not melting at all. The finding has put a cat among the pigeons, and the proponents of global warming are ducking for cover. 

What happened is the following: In mid-November, when the IPCC and its promoters, such as the BBC and other mass media, were issuing a flurry of reports saying the glaciers in India’s Himalayan mountains were melting at a furious pace in response to so-called climate change, V.K. Raina, the former deputy director-general of the Geological Survey of India, sought to correct the lie. His report, endorsed by the Indian Environment Ministry, asserted the plain truth: that there was no evidence that the Himalayan glaciers were melting, and that there is no scientific evidence, whatsoever, that the glaciers would disappear by 2035, as claimed by the IPCC experts. “It’s not true,” Raina said.
