The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC, said in 2007 that it was very likely the Himalayan glaciers would disappear by 2035 if current warming trends continued. It has subsequently emerged that its claim was based on no more than an unreviewed article written in 1999 by an Indian glacier specialist. The IPCC has expressed its regret but the controversy looks set to run and run.
