Himalayan Glaciers Melting 100's of Million People Dependent on River Ganges

Glaciers of the Himalayan Mountains are melting faster than anywhere else. Parts of surrounding ecology are not growing, and the River Ganges which flows from the Himalayan snow and ice currently provides water for hundreds of millions of people. * China's snow cloud experiment produced 16 tonnes of snow for Beijing on Nov 1st 2009:- http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/china/Beijing-gets-first-snow-after-...

There were lots of news reports on melting glaciers following the Copenhagen shambles. The BBC was one of the news channels that really cranked up the nonsense. Search for "Himalayan glacier" now on Google and you get page after page of news items reporting on the scandal of the deliberate errors in the IPCC report. Even the BBC eventually had to start reporting on the facts of the IPCC "errors". The tide is turning on global warning hysteria.

If politicians can't push through a climate tax they'll probably make us pay to save the rainforests instead, or something like that.

When politicians do their calculations on a new tax they predict how much they will get from the public over a 5 year period, and make plans to spend it ahead of time in future budgets. If they have already predicted the amount a climate tax would generate then if it was not passed into law we would see another tax pop up to keep in line with their budget plans.

Since when are mountains dusted with snow considered to be glaciers?

[RealClimateNews]

@blogegog -

Mountains are not 'dusted with snow and considered glaciers' !!!!!!

The point is to create snow CLOUDS which also is known as cloud COVER, which lowers the temperature which would help snow and rainfall to solidify into glaciers, and to keep the glaciers present from retreating furthur.

Hundreds of millions of people depend on the glaciers to melt in summer for fresh river water. but they now melt all year round, meaning little river water during summer months.

Yet China has faced drought in parts of Beijing and yesterday created snow clouds by injecting large amounts of silver iodide into their atmosphere. The result was 16 million tonnes of snowfall on Beijing on November 1st 2009.

Why can't the same be done for other parts of the World in drought??

The Perito Moreno is one glaciers among many that are GROWING around the globe

@RealClimateNews He meant that in the video they show mountains dusted with snow instead of glaciers.

climate change is NOT caused by carbon ---- scientific fact

In 5 or 10 years that glacier will be gone!
