Himalayan glaciers - for years one of the poster children of the man-made global warming is real and were all doomed movement - are in no imminent danger whatsoever, a new study has found. Share the facts from James Delingpole. Of the 2018 glaciers mapped and monitored for the survey, nearly 87 per cent were found to be stable while only 12 per cent were found to be in retreat. These real-world observations are in marked contrast to the predictions by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its 2007 report that the Himalayan glaciers could disappear by 2035. The news is unlikely to make much impact, however, on the views of environmental campaigners for whom the melting of the Himalayan glaciers (along with rising sea levels and the parching/drowning of the Indian sub continent) remains a dearly-held article of faith.
