Abu Dhabi, Jan 19, (PTI): R K Pachauri, head of UN's panel of climate scientists on Tuesday defended his Nobel winning team over forecasting an early disappearance of the Himalayan glaciers, saying he will soon come with a response report on the issue. The Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) …
RASHME SEHGAL Union minister for environment Jairam Ramesh believes his ministry's stand that the Himalayan glaciers were not going to disappear in the next three decades now stands vindicated. A benchmark study undertaken by scientists of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a UN body regarded as the world's …
Aarti Dhar NEW DELHI: The government on Monday said its contention that there was no immediate and serious threat to the Himalayan glaciers was vindicated with the latest evidence suggesting that the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) claim on the glaciers disappearing by 2035 due to climate change, was …
A warning that most of the Himalayan glaciers will melt by 2035 owing to climate change is likely to be retracted after the United Nations body that issued it admitted to a series of scientific blunders. Two years ago, the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) headed by India's Rajendra …
Awarning that climate change will melt most Himalayan glaciers by 2035 is likely to be retracted after the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
Glaciologists are arguing over how a highly contentious claim about the speed at which glaciers are melting came to be included in the latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. In 1999 New Scientist reported a comment by the leading Indian glaciologist Syed Hasnain, who said in an …
It was a dramatic declaration: glaciers across much of the Himalayas may be gone by 2035. When New Scientist heard this comment from a leading Indian glaciologist, we reported it. That was in 1999. The claim later appeared in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's most recent report - and …
River flow response to the changing climate is a major concern in the Himalayan region. Present understanding regarding the impact of glacier shrinkage on the river flow variations is summarized in the IPCC 2007, which stated that "as these glaciers retreat due to global warming, river flows are increased in …
We find evidence that black soot aerosols deposited on Tibetan glaciers have been a significant contributing factor to observed rapid glacier retreat. Reduced black soot emissions, in addition to reduced greenhouse gases, may be required to avoid demise of Himalayan glaciers and retain the benefits of glaciers for seasonal fresh …

Contrary to the claims of Sikkim Glacier Commission that there has been no significant decrease in glaciers in Sikkim due to global warming and climate change, an international media house has published a news item asserting evidence that glaciers in Sikkim and other Himalayan regions are disappearing due to climate …
As scientists worry about the prospect of a catastrophic flood from Lake Sarez in the Pamir Mountains, agricultural communities on the plains below face a very different problem. This arid region in Central Asia has inherited a set of resource blunders made decades ago by the Soviet Union. And since …
Lake Sarez was born nearly a century ago, when a mountainside in Tajikistan crumbled during a magnitude-7.4 earthquake. The 567-meter-high landslide blocked an alpine river, forming the world's tallest dam. Since then, the valley behind it has filled with 17 billion cubic meters of snow and glacier melt. Experts fear …
GANGTOK, Dec 17: Contrary to the claims of Sikkim Glacier Commission that there has been no significant decrease in glaciers in Sikkim due to global warming and climate change, an international media house has published a scalding news item asserting evidence that glaciers in Sikkim and other Himalayan regions are …
The melting of the glaciers will have an adverse impact on the entire South Asian region, said Dr Rajendra Pachauri, the Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, who came to a side event organised by Pakistan
RIYAZ WANI While Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh believes glacier melting has little to do with climate change, expert Dr Shakeel Ramshoo has rung the alarm bells, saying the Valley
