Having said that, Siachen, and the other Pakistan controlled glaciers nearby, the one's with names like Biafro and Boffo, Baltistan, are also melting and here's a photo of a glacier floating out to sea in Antarctics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081375376975563520.post-50680639180777617462010-02-06T14:04:08.532+05:302010-02-06T14:04:08.532+05:30@Will--thanks for stopping by.

@space...@plastic--sometimes all we can do is laugh!<br />@spacebar, I know magazines like to pump up sales, but this was irresponsible. I can understand the reporter letting his politics get the best of him, but I would have expected the editors to step in and inject some reason into the story. This kind of sloppy, poorly written work makes them look bad also.<br />@Thurman, It's embarrassing to see the Indian right wing relying on American think tanks to feed them their stories. Let's at least have some originality!Hari Battihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14789125444941418973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081375376975563520.post-77375044968192129162010-02-01T19:01:40.814+05:302010-02-01T19:01:40.814+05:30I see right wing nut jobs are the same everywhere....I see right wing nut jobs are the same everywhere. Thanks for another well written piece, Hari. I've adopted the term "human enhanced climate change" when attempting civil discussion with those who deny the existence of any problem. They usually begin by insisting that climate change has occurred many times in the past and that this round is just another "natural" cycle - never mind the fact that we - and I'm pointing the finger mostly at my own sorry excuse for a nation - have spent the last century or so literally pouring huge amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere at rates far in excess of any natural phenomenon. These people, so intent on destroying the world in the name of profits make my blood boil.Thurman Hubbardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00270247618439240413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081375376975563520.post-4396151198739650602010-02-01T17:26:43.059+05:302010-02-01T17:26:43.059+05:30hb, thanks for this! that piece made me speechless...hb, thanks for this! that piece made me speechless. also, haven't yet looked at this week's tehelka, so off to do that.Space Barhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08251329008160756254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081375376975563520.post-28840488475672490292010-02-01T12:41:38.971+05:302010-02-01T12:41:38.971+05:30The inability to understand simple science reminds...The inability to understand simple science reminds me of something that happened to me as I was preparing for the coming climactic apocalypse. I built a time machine in the deep recesses of the cave I live in.<br /><br />I tested it out last night, traveling back in time. To my surprise, people have been using Twitter throughout history. Here were some of the tweets that I collected in my time journey:<br /><br />"Some idiot named Columbus gonna go discover the new world. Thinks earth is round! HA! WTF?"<br /><br />"Sun keeps going round and round the earth. This fool say it's the other way round."<br /><br />"When will somebody invent zero?"<br /><br />"I think these Neanderthals really have a future."<br /><br />It's so nice to be back in the age of reason.pghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114903046674209887noreply@blogger.com
