Global Warming Alarmists Getting Colder, Colder …

Wow. A friend of The Chilling Effect highlighted this audacious quote running in the Washington Post:

Kargel said he noticed an error in the report of the IPCC’s second working group, a research unit, in 2007. The report said huge glaciers in the Himalayan mountains might disappear by 2035. Some glaciers are melting, but they are too enormous to disappear that quickly: “It’s physically impossible to kill the ice that fast,” Kargel said.

He said colleagues regarded the error as too ridiculous to fuss about until recently.

Insert agape jaw here.

It was too ridiculous to mention, and now we’re upset that people are upset that a ridiculous piece of tripe was driving trillion-dollar policy decisions?!
