The new report, requested by the eight nations the mountains span, is intended to change that. More than 200 scientists worked on the report over five years, with another 125 experts peer reviewing their work.
Even strong action on climate change leaves significant melting of glaciers in the Hindu Kush Himalaya range
Carbon emissions slashed rapidly 2.1C rise in the mountains 1.5C Global average surface warming A third of ice is lost by 2100
Carbon emissions slashed 2.7C rise in the mountains 2.0C Global average surface warming Half of ice is lost by 2100
Carbon emissions are not cut 5-6C rise in the mountains 4-5C Global average surface warming Two-thirds of ice is lost by 2100 Guardian graphic. Source: The Hindu Kush Himalaya Assessment, 2019
RedPencil, obviously a report with high credibility, given the scientific firepower involved.
imagine that, the countries that host the Himalayas commissioned a scientific report because they wanted to find out what might happen in the region as Earth warms.
so they assembled a team of experts to do the work. Sounds totally rational to me.
and all we get from the small clique of climate change denying noisemakers on HC is meaningless word salad criticising others for wanting to further their knowledge.
this small clique live in a special place where nothing is too stupid and one of the worst things you could ever do is expand your knowledge. What a clique, for members only.
