Surprise! The Himalayan glaciers won’t be gone by 2035 after all. That environmental “crisis” was cooked up from the “speculation” of a professor to an eager reporter in 1999, and then enshrined as a scientific fact. Turns out it wasn’t based directly on hard data at all, but on an article in a magazine.
Anyone terribly shocked?
India is hopping mad, understandably. The Indian environment minister said "The IPCC (United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has to do a lot of answering (for creating) such a scare."
Meanwhile, the chairman of the IPCC, Rajendra Pachauri,is in serious hot water himself with the media, some of whom 
seem to have finally awakened from their pc-induced stupors. It seems Dr Pachauri has a major conflict of interest in the form of a network of business interests that attract many million of dollars in funding thanks to IPCC policies. That might be a good reason for Dr. Pachuri to be campaigning for a climate doomsday, yuh think?
Climate scientist Peter Taylor told the London Express: “I am not surprised by this news. A vast bureaucracy and industry has been built up around this theory. There is too much money in it for the IPCC to let it wither.”
On another front, a BBC weather forecaster has suggested that the U.K. Met Office, Britain’s National Weather Service, uses a super-computer with a 'warm bias' which has stopped it from predicting the bitter cold that recently blasted through Blighty. Now the BBC might drop the Met Office after a 90 year relationship, thanks to some embarrassingly warm, and wrong, forecasting of late.
And we now know that a Penn State scientist in the middle of the ClimateGate scandal, Professor Michael Mann, creator of the discredited "Hockey Stick Graph," received economic stimulus funds last June. The National Center for Public Policy Research says Mann received $541,184 in economic stimulus funds last June to conduct climate change research. Reporters are on it.
Could the vaunted climate change “consensus” be starting to melt?
I’d say yes, but that would be mere “speculation.”
