We got it wrong: UN climate change scientists admit error over Himalayan glacier report

The world's leading climate change body has admitted it was wrong about a key prediction on global warming.The UN's panel of climate scientists, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), claimed in 2007 that the Himalayan glaciers would vanish by 2035 if melting continued at its present rate. But today the panel's chairman admitted that the figure quoted in the report was wrong and would now be reviewed. The row over the figures comes just months after the 'Climategate' email scandal and will reinforce doubts over the existence of man-made climate change. (Daily Mail)
