Himalayan Glaciers
CO2 Science
6-2009 EXCERPT: Reference Chaujar, R.K. 2009. Climate change and its impact on the Himalayan glaciers - a case study on the Chorabari glacier, Garhwal Himalaya, India. Current Science 96: 703-708. What was done "Based on the dating of lichens, developed on loops of moraines formed due to various stages of advance and retreat of the [Chorabari] glacier," the author pinpoints the time at which the warming that led to the demise of the Little Ice Age -- and, ultimately, the ushering in of the Current Warm Period -- began in the Kedarnath temple area of the Garhwal Himalayas, after which he briefly reviews the similar findings of others at a variety of places around the globe. LINK It is our attitude toward free thought and free expression that will determine our fate. There must be no limit on the range of temperate discussion, no limits on thought. No subject must be taboo. No censor must preside at our assemblies. –William O. Douglas, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, 1952 |
