Himalayan Glaciers – A State-of-Art Review of Glacial Studies, Glacial Retreat and Climate Change. by V.K. Raina | Climate Realists
The fallacy of a single cause is a well-known failure of scientific thinking, yet the idea that AGW controls the future of the planet, let alone the behaviour of glaciers, is constantly pushed upon us. All the evidence suggests that there are many factors affecting glaciers. To paraphrase Raina, “It is unlikely that the snout movement of any glacier can be claimed to be the result of a single factor, namely today’s temperature”.

Raina writes “But to postulate that a glacier can warn of the climate changes likely to take place in future is a big question mark”. I would suggest it is totally illogical.

It is crucial that public policy be based on facts. CO2 driven global warming is not supported by the data.
Global Climate Scam » Coca-Cola’s Bizarre Dichotomy
The fact that they would support regulating carbon dioxide emissions is in itself quite bizarre, since one of the main ingredients of their primary products is carbon dioxide and they are one of the world’s top users of the gas. Every time a can or bottle of Coke is opened, CO2 gets released into the atmosphere. Dr. Roy Spencer of NASA estimates that Coca-Cola products release 4,000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere every day. It gets stranger.
SuperFreakonomics coauthor Dubner ratchets up the rhetoric, claiming his critics have issued a ‘fatwa’! « Climate Progress
In the latest of many fawning interviews promoting SuperFreakonomics, author Stephen J. Dubner claimed the critics of his “global cooling” chapter have issued a “fatwa for entertaining alternate theories.” On Public Radio International’s morning program, “The Takeaway,” Dubner told hosts John Hockenberry and Celeste Headlee that he was right to call global warming a “religion.” In fact, he considers the criticism the book has received from economists, climate scientists, and energy experts to be “essentially a fatwa“
