YID With LID: New Study Says Global Warming May Be Signal of Impending Ice Age
If there is a sudden Ice Age I cant wait to see Al Gore's reaction.Mass loss from Alaskan glaciers overestimated? Previous melt contributed a third less to sea-level rise than estimated
Previous studies have largely overestimated mass loss from Alaskan glaciers over the past 40-plus years, according to Erik Schiefer, a Northern Arizona University geographer who coauthored a paper in the February issue of Nature Geoscience that recalculates glacier melt in Alaska.NewsDaily: Glacier melting a key clue to tracking climate change
SINGAPORE/ANCHORAGE, Mar. 4, 2010 (Reuters) — The world has become far too hot for the aptly named Exit Glacier in Alaska.Climate scientists must be absolutely honest about data | David Colquhoun | Environment | guardian.co.uk
Like many low-altitude glaciers, it's steadily melting, shrinking two miles over the past 200 years as it tries to strike a new balance with rising temperatures.
Vice-chancellors and research councils provide a strong incentive to do poor, over-hurried and occasionally dishonest science. Perhaps the surprising thing in the circumstances is that there is so little fraud.
...
It is not uncommon to read that science needs better PR. That is precisely not what is needed. PR exists to put only one side of the story, which makes it an essentially dishonest occupation. Its aims are the very opposite of those of science. The public aren't stupid: they often recognise when they are getting half the story.
