So now its come out that the 2035 prediction of the Himalayan glaciers melting was based entirely on speculation of one man, 8 years prior to when the IPCC issued their report in 2007... It was a phone call made by New Scientist magazine interviewed Syed Hasnain, Indian scientist, over the phone in 1999 for an article on the subject - he merely speculated that the Himalayan glaciers could melt by 2035. A few years later, the IPCC base a report which was based on another report, based on the New Scientist article, and say that the chance of it happening is greater than 90%.
Insert foot firmly in mouth.
Oh scientific community, how are the mainstream media going to take this now?.. Not to mention Global Warming activists around the world! I was looking forward to increased taxes and turning my computer/tv off at night in order to combat this (fake) man-made global warming.
Looks like the global warming fiasco has yet another dent in its highly bullshined exterior.

I think its obscene that such information was taken for actual fact when it was just 'speculation'. It will most likely throw many of the global warming fans off course. I do still believe we need to reduce the pollution we are causing to the planet.
