Himalayan Glaciers Doing Just Fine, Thanks

The Himalayas and nearby peaks have lost no ice in past 10 years, study shows

The world's greatest snow-capped peaks, which run in a chain from the Himalayas to Tian Shan on the border of China and Kyrgyzstan, have lost no ice over the last decade, new research shows. The discovery has stunned scientists, who had believed that around 50bn tonnes of meltwater were being shed each year and not being replaced by new snowfall...

The melting of Himalayan glaciers caused controversy in 2009 when a report from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change mistakenly stated that they would disappear by 2035, instead of 2350.

The new study used a pair of satellites, called Grace, which measure tiny changes in the Earth's gravitational pull. When ice is lost, the gravitational pull weakens and is detected by the orbiting spacecraft. "They fly at 500km, so they see everything," said Wahr, including the hard-to-reach, high-altitude glaciers.

The article goes on to make the usual plea that, in fact, global warming is still concern.  However, one by one, the dominoes seem to keep falling.  Global temperatures have not increased in over 10 years,  sea level rise has not increased, and the polar ice packs have not declined (while the Arctic ice pack has decreased, the Antarctic ice sheet has increased even more).  And the politicians still want to tax trillions of dollars to fix the "problem."
