What the Glaciers Aren't Melting? Time to Sell that Beachfront Land in Idaho

This is exactly why this whole Global Warming thing is such a joke.

But so what? His musings were wafted upwards through the New Scientist to the World Wildlife Fund to the IPCC to a global fait accompli: the glaciers are disappearing. Everyone knows that. You’re not a denier, are you? India’s environment minister, Jairam Ramesh, says there was not “an iota of scientiļ¬c evidence” to support the 2035 claim. Yet that proved no obstacle to its progress through the alarmist establishment. Dr. Murari Lal, the “scientist” who included the 2035 glacier apocalypse in the IPCC report, told Britain’s Mail on Sunday that he knew it wasn’t based on “peer-reviewed science” but “we thought we should put it in”—for political reasons.

So some speculation by a glacier scientist (man that sounds like a boring job) went from an article in New Scientist to a WWF report to the IPCC report and was taken as an undeniable fact? No one checked anything on the way up the chain? I think they need to tear everything down and build the science anew like when drug research fails. Then they can get it right without trying to see who lied or who was speculating and when.
