Himalayan ice is stable, but Asia faces drought - environment - 10 June 2010 - New Scientist
In fact, only the glaciers that melt into the Ganges are shrinking, according to the most detailed analysis yet of how climate change will affect key Asian glaciers.Cause of global warming found: Supermarket Trolley's
...
Walter Immerzeel of Utrecht University in the Netherlands used data from a pair of satellites known as GRACE to estimate changes in the thickness of the glaciers that supply the Indus, Brahmaputra, Ganges, Yangtze and Yellow rivers between 2001 and 2007.
He found that only the 100-metre-thick glaciers that feed the Ganges are thinning, at a rate of 22 centimetres per year.
The glaciers that sit at the head of the Indus grew at a rate of 19 centimetres per year on average, while those that melt into the other rivers in the study were unchanged.
Banning trollies to reduce our carbon foot print? The NSW government is f*cking useless.
According to 'researchers' trollies are causing people to buy more produce and hence drive to the supermarket and increase their carbon footprint.
