Climate Change

Climate of fear

The integrity of climate research has taken a very public battering in recent months. Scientists must now emphasize the science, while acknowledging that they are in a street fight. (Editorial)

Climate change and its impact on the Himalayan glaciers

In 2004, I visited the Chorabari Glacier on an expedition under the leadership of M. Kuhle. Thus, I have read the paper by R. K. Chaujar with great interest1. In agreement with Chaujar1, we also recognized different latero-frontal moraines around Kedarnath. Because younger glacial history was not the primary aim of our expedition, we did not differentiate

Glaciers are indeed melting fast, says expert

Julian Hunt displays evidence from Beijing Climate Centre study

CHENNAI: Supporting the argument on glacier melt, Julian Hunt, Emeritus Professor of Climate Modelling, University of Cambridge, U.K., showed evidence from a Chinese study to state that glaciers are indeed melting fast.

No doubt, Himalayan glaciers are melting fast: Pachauri

Rahi Gaikwad

Mumbai: Rajendra Pachauri, head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which came under fire for an error in predicting that the Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035, said on Tuesday that the contentions of snowfall discrediting the meltdown were incorrect and there was no ambiguity that the glaciers were melting.
