You are all relying on the Guradian article, which is not the primary source of the information. In fact, the title of the Guardian article, "The Himalayas and nearby peaks have lost no ice in past 10 years, study shows" is not what the
original article in Nature says, which is that the loss of Glacier and Ice Cap in the Himalayas is abut 30 percent less than had been estimated. Thirty percent less than has been estimated is not the same thing as "no loss", and reflects better analysis of the GRACE satellite data, which gives a better view of high altitude glacier mass than previous measures. This becomes important when you consider that several billion people are dependent on the outflow of water from this source, so understanding the dynamics of the system is very important to them. On the other hand, the study shows that the accelerated melt off of other glaciers seems to be contributing to the rise in sea level that has been measured. So,,,the earth continues to go around the sun, and the sea levels do continue to rise.
according to this joker it is? "The very unexpected result was the negligible mass loss from high mountain Asia, which is not significantly different from zero."Bristol University glaciologist Prof Jonathan Bamber.
Look keep in mind, I'm not saying the article is or isn't valid. I'm just pointing out the logic process of the turkeys that run around telling us the world is ending... (as I look at the Nautilus fossil I found in my back yard, 500 miles from the coast...)
