Researchers have discovered that contrary to popular belief half of the ice flows in the Karakoram range of the mountains are actually growing rather than shrinking. The discovery adds a new twist to the row over whether global warming is causing the world's highest mountain range to lose its ice cover. It further challenges claims made in a 2007 report by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that the glaciers would be gone by 2035.

So here we go, even more evidence of the man made global warming hoax.
The new study by scientists at the Universities of California and Potsdam has found that half of the glaciers in the Karakoram range, in the northwestern Himlaya, are in fact advancing and that global warming is not the deciding factor in whether a glacier survives or melts.
Their report, published in the journal Nature Geoscience, found the key factor affecting their advance or retreat is the amount of debris – rocks and mud – strewn on their surface, not the general nature of climate change.
Glaciers surrounded by high mountains and covered with more than two centimetres of debris are protected from melting.
Debris-covered glaciers are common in the rugged central Himalaya, but they are almost absent in subdued landscapes on the Tibetan Plateau, where retreat rates are higher.

So here we go, even more evidence of the man made global warming hoax. They actually lied about the temperatures in the Himalayas, overstating the average temperature by 6 degrees. Well, what do you expect from a pseudocult who's high priest is Al Gore, a man infamous for his exaggerations, falsified stories, and out-right lies. It should be over. Cap and Trade should be history. The UN's dreams of using the global warming hoax as an excuse for some grand scheme of global taxation should be in tatters. How can the masses still hold on to this fairy tale?
