Last Month, telegraph.co.uk says (in IPCC deputy says scientists are 'only human') Claims that HImalayan glaciers would melt by 2035 were down to a "human mistake" the deputy leader of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has admitted.

2 Months Ago, London Times says (in UN climate panel blunders again over Himalayan glaciers.) The chairman of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has used bogus claims that Himalayan glaciers were melting to win grants worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.

And Christian Science Monitor says (in Himalayan glaciers gone by 2035? Scientist recants date.) The 2035 Himalayan glacier doomsday date in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report was a mistake, say Indian scientists.

And New Scientist says (in Climate chief admits error over Himalayan glaciers.) The head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been forced to apologise for including in its 2007 report the claim that there was a "very high" chance of glaciers disappearing from the Himalayas by 2035.

And latimes.com says (in Climate official: Dire Himalayan glacier warning might not be backed up by scientific evidence.) A U.N. warning that Himalayan glaciers may melt by 2035 appears not to be backed up by scientific evidence, an American scientist says - an admission that could energize climate change critics.

And news.bbc.co.uk says (in Climate body admits glacier error) The IPCC gave the wrong date for Himalayan glacier melt, but says it does not change the picture of climate change.

And London Times says (in World misled over Himalayan glacier meltdown.) A warning that climate change will melt most of the Himalayan glaciers by 2035 is likely to be retracted after a series of scientific blunders by the United Nations body that issued it.
