Another global warming “oops”

Strike Two for Algore ….

Or, maybe it was just a typo.  “2350″ and “2035″ are separated by just a keystroke.  Not much of a difference, unless you’re discussing dates, then the difference is staggering.

The UN panel on climate change warning that Himalayan glaciers could melt to a fifth of current levels by 2035 is wildly inaccurate, an academic says.

J Graham Cogley, a professor at Ontario Trent University, says he believes the UN authors got the date from an earlier report wrong by more than 300 years.

He is astonished they “misread 2350 as 2035″. The authors deny the claims.

Leading glaciologists say the report has caused confusion and “a catalogue of errors in Himalayan glaciology”.

The science is settled?

hmm. I guess the billion folks who depend on the Himalayan glaciers for drinking water have a little bit longer to work this problem out than Al thought.
