Journalist from esteemed Science journal notified Pachauri of glacier data problems

The Himalayas were a 'central icon' to the overall global warming plank, and their status was widely used to demonize the US and its citizens. This one issue could be stretched to say the US was endangering 40% of the world's population via loss of waters from the Himalayas.

• Acceptance of such claims continues to be the basis for which the US has offered billions in taxpayer dollars for alleged climate reparations.

"A journalist working for Science had told (UN Nobel Peace Prize laureate) Dr Pachauri several times late last year that glaciologists

• had refuted the IPCC claim that Himalayan glaciers would disappear by 2035. Dr Pachauri refused to address the problem, saying:

• “I don’t have anything to add on glaciers.”

He suggested that the error would not be corrected until 2013 or 2014, when the IPCC next reported."...

• The Director of Greenpeace UK , John Sauven, said the Nobel laureate lacked character:

TimesOnline, Sauven: "It’s in these situations that your

• character and judgment is tested.

Do you make the right judgment call? He clearly didn’t.”"...

Leading up to Copenhagen, The NY Times elevated the stature of the false Himalaya data by reporting the Himalayas are melting due to man made climate change and threatening lives in Nepal and Maldives:

• NY Times: "Last month, the cabinet of Maldives donned scuba gear and held an underwater meeting to highlight the threat of global warming to that nation, the world’s lowest."...11/2/09, "Mt. Kilimanjaro ice cap continues rapid retreat, study says" (article notes Kilimanjaro is melting due to indeterminate causes).

• As did Time Magazine:

TIME Magazine advanced IPCC catastrophic report on Himalayas: "and the 2007 global-warming assessment by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change judged that glaciers in the Himalayas were "receding faster than at any other place in the world."...12/4/09, "The Tragedy of the Himalayas"********

• (This is not to suggest the NY Times or Time Magazine had any idea about false data concerning the Himalayas).
