#1 The Global Warming zealots always pick their data sets to advance the narrative. Lying beats studying. Green is just the latest camouflage for the totalitarians, protective coloration after the Reds collapsed.

#3 perhaps AlGore and environmental chicken littles should pay financial and academic credential penalties for the societal/economic damage their grant-whoring costs us?

#4 It doesn't matter if these glaciers are not retreating. Somewhere, there are glaciers that are retreating. That's the important thing!

#5 2 facts about Himalayan glaciers,

1. Their advance retreat is determined by monsoon precipitation. Monsoon precipitation is determined by how hot Central Asia gets. Thus global warming (were it too happen) would cause Himalayan glaciers to advance.

2. The rivers the glaciers feed, flood in late summer with the monsoon (some miles wide). Any changes due to glacier melt would be like taking an egg cup full of water out of an olympic swimming pool and measuring the decrease in height.

The ignorance about Himalayan glaciers is absymally low even by the already low standards of the AGW crowd.

#6 The IPCC put together some alarming sounds statements that didn't mean anything. But which got endlessly repeated as dogma by the ignorant.

Now that particular chicken is coming home to roost, because they can't now turn around and say (the truth as happens) that advancing Himalayan glaciers are a sign of global warming.

#7 "they can't now turn around and say (the truth as happens) that advancing Himalayan glaciers are a sign of global warming"

Give 'em time, phil - they're very creative.
