Erratum

Erratum in numbers led to a new scandal relating to global warming. Incorrect data were found in the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change United Nations.Erratum dealt with some of the figures - in the document stated that if global warming continues at its current pace, it is likely that the Himalayan glaciers by 2035, will disappear altogether, since their area this year will likely drop from 500 thousand to 100 thousand square kilometers. km.According to climatologists, the text of the report was compiled based on information taken in part from unreliable sources.Data that the rate of melting of Himalayan glaciers melting faster than all the other glaciers, were taken from the report of the environmental organization WWF. At the same time, the report used data from the publication, which shows records of voting, but unpublished study.Environmental Services noted that the data published in the report do not relate to the glaciers in the Himalayas, as well as their area of not more than 33 thousand square meters. km.

Experts have concluded that the document are due to all the glaciers of the world.Among other things, to ensure that the Himalayan glaciers have disappeared by 2035, the rate of ice melting should increase at least 25 times compared with the melting rate in 1960 and 1999., Contrary to current views on the climate.The analysis of the situation showed that the figures were incorrectly copied from an article in which the given projections for the shrinking of glaciers of the planet, but by 2035, the report said, but to 2350. Scientists argue that such errors appear because of improper relationship to the requirements of scientific publications. In addition, the error would not have happened if the scientists relied on data from publications in peer-reviewed publications.
