the Himalayas are melting

Remember when I talked about Global Warming and the massaging of data? Well, it's happened again! A recent report claims that: "... Himalaya glaciers could vanish by 2035". Mamma mia! It turns out that a climatologist from India (who's received several hundred thousand dollars in research grants) admitted that this claim is not based upon scientific data. Indeed, the climatologist seems to have read the claim in some non-peer-reviewed journal (maybe Readers Digest?). There also seems to be earlier work (by Russian glaciologist Vladimir Kotlyakov) that notes the drastic melting of all "non-polar" glaciers by 2350. In fact, Prof Graham Cogley (Trent University, Ontario) suggests that (in the Himalayan report) the digits have been rearranged. I'm currently applying for a $100K research grant to further my studies on the movement of the polar ice cap and the devastating consequences. I'm sure I read it ... somewhere.
