After a 10-month study, Gov. David A. Paterson is leaving his successor an ambitious environmental plan to reduce New York’s greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by the middle of the century.

Climate Prep » Artificial Glaciers in the Himalayas provide water to desperate farmers

Norphel built stone walls, in the slopes, above the village. It diverts the runoff from winter precipitation into an area that is shaded from the sun, and a series of embankments slowed the freezing water for long enough so that it could build up into the artificial glacier. Now, during winter, this glacier stores water which remains available in the drier sowing season to irrigate the farmers’ crops. The results have been very hopeful. Previously barren fields have turned green by the stored water from the artificial glacier. “We have so much [wheat] yield now that we are even selling some,” says Tashi Angmo, who lives in Stakmo. “People who moved away are starting to return to the village because there is hope now..."

We have been hearing a lot about how the decline in Arctic ice is following the “steepest slope ever.” The point is largely meaningless, but we can have some fun with it. The Bremen Arctic/Antarctic maps are superimposed above, showing that ice in the Antarctic is at a record high and growing at the “steepest slope ever.” You will also note that most of the world’s sea ice is located in the Antarctic. But those are inconvenient truths when trying to frighten people into believing that “the polar ice caps are melting.”
