Roy,
I am glad you used the Times of London article. AP science reporter, Seth Borenstein, provides his whitewash of the news in the N&O here. “The year 2350 was apparently transposed as 2035.” and …they [the mistakes] are not significant in comparison to the entire report…”
I guess Seth’s journalistic standards told him that this part of the Times report was not newsworthy.
…the prediction was based not on a consensus among
climate change experts but on a media interview with a single Indian
glaciologist in 1999. That scientist, Syed Hasnain, has now told The Times
that he never made such a specific forecast in his interview with the New
Scientist magazine.
