Himalayan glaciers growing despite global warming
Glaciers in parts of the greater Himalayas are growing despite the worldwide trend of ice melting due to warmer temperatures, a study has found.
In the Karakoram mountain range on the border of Pakistan and China, glaciers have defied global warming to become marginally larger over a decade, researchers said.
The impact of global warming in the region has been controversial since an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report wrongly claimed in 2007 that glaciers in most of the greater Himalayan range could vanish by 2035.
The research, published in the Nature Geoscience journal, comes a month after a study which suggested the rate of ice loss in the Himalayas was being overestimated due to inadequate monitoring methods.
In a comment piece in the same journal Graham Cogley, a Canadian researcher who previously challenged the 2007 IPCC report, said making sense of the differing glacial size figures produced by different scientific techniques would "keep glaciologists busy for some time".
interesting. although i don't take notes on every single article i read about the ice caps melting, i am fairly certain that most article refer only to glaciers and icebergs near the poles. perhaps there isn't as much net ice loss for the globe as expected. maybe ice caps on other mountains are growing too?
And why did you cut this middle part of the article out ?
"Julie Gardelle, at CNRS-Université Grenoble, who led the project, said the reason for the exception was unclear but could be related to regional variation in temperature.
She told The Guardian: "In our warming world, there are regions of the Earth where, for a few years or decades, the atmosphere is not warming or is even cooling.
"So it is not really a big surprise that there are some regions where the temperature is not rising and the Karakoram may be one of those.""

Maybe because you're a deluded, lying, deceptive sack of shit?
How fucking stupid that sounds....... "The Earth is Warming! , well except for this part of the earth where it's cooling, but don't pay any attention to that, we don't know why, so it must not be a part of the equation that says The Earth is Warming!
You want to say Hey! lets keep the Earth clean, I'm all in favor, but don't stir up some crock of shit, half-truthed, curve fitted science to perpetuate some calamity needing big brother to rescue us at a cost....... the earth has risen and lowered it's temperature to extremes several times all without the help man.
The chicken little ET crowd, "The Sky is falling!!"

You're pretty clueless aren't you? You think this is all some plot to install the UN as our government don't you? Do you really think that 97% of the climate scientists are lying?

For naivety and clueless you need to look no further than the mirror..... man has been trumping up ruses and snake oils in an effort to make a buck since time began..... global warming is no different.
The UN can't govern themselves, too corrupt, we'd be well ahead of the game by refusing to pay them another dollar and kicking it off US soil. And yes, 97% of those scientists that derive their livelihoods via grants and monies furthering their research of GW, lie to keep their jobs.
97% of all scientists do not believe in global warming... please.... must be what today's liberal text books teach ,
