There are all sorts of little scientific hypotheses being funded and carried out, all using sound scientific process. The problem is, they are all within the basic premis that there IS man made global warming. I don't know of any research project objectively studying that basic question.flyingvanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07115555161258682091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008362451811455573.post-3278246431596075822010-01-25T10:59:11.669-08:002010-01-25T10:59:11.669-08:00Not sure if you read this
Dr Murari Lal also said...<a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1245636/Glacier-scientists-says-knew-data-verified.html#ixzz0dUx6pwXe" rel="nofollow">Not sure if you read this</a><br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />‘It had importance for the region, so we thought we should put it in.’<br /><br />The claim that Himalayan glaciers are set to disappear by 2035 rests on two 1999 magazine interviews with glaciologist Syed Hasnain, which were then recycled without any further investigation in a 2005 report by the environmental campaign group WWF.<br /><br />It was this report that Dr Lal and his team cited as their source.<br /><br />The WWF article also contained a basic error in its arithmetic. A claim that one glacier was retreating at the alarming rate of 134 metres a year should in fact have said 23 metres – the authors had divided the total loss measured over 121 years by 21, not 121.<br /><br />Last Friday, the WWF website posted a humiliating statement recognising the claim as ‘unsound’, and saying it ‘regrets any confusion caused’.<br /><br />Dr Lal said: ‘We knew the WWF report with the 2035 date was “grey literature” [material not published in a peer-reviewed journal]. But it was never picked up by any of the authors in our working group, nor by any of the more than 500 external reviewers, by the governments to which it was sent, or by the final IPCC review editors.’Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16303771842312819728noreply@blogger.com
