    hi Nassim,

    From the article you posted…

    “Bamber was quick to caution that the new study doesn’t alter his view that the climate is changing, and rapidly.

    “This new study doesn’t change our view of the risks and threats from climate change,” he said in an online chat at the Guardian. “What it does do is improve our knowledge of the recent behavior of one part of the climate system.”

    Indeed, Wahr’s study clearly notes that lower-altitude glaciers and ice caps are melting, to the tune of about 150 billion tons of ice annually, which the study predicts could lead to an overall rise in sea levels.

    He concluded that the higher altitude and therefore colder Himalayan peaks may be temporarily impervious to factors causing melting.”

    How can this possibly be interpreted as good news re the Climate change front?
