More Bad News For The Global Warming Doomsday Cult

From the UK Telegraph:

In its most recent report, it stated that observed reductions in mountain ice in the Andes, Alps and Africa was being caused by global warming, citing two papers as the source of the information.

However, it can be revealed that one of the sources quoted was a feature article published in a popular magazine for climbers which was based on anecdotal evidence from mountaineers about the changes they were witnessing on the mountainsides around them.

The other was a dissertation written by a geography student, studying for the equivalent of a master's degree, at the University of Berne in Switzerland that quoted interviews with mountain guides in the Alps.

I wonder what happened to that peer-reviewed, scientific process I've heard so much about?

Don't know what their problems are in the mountains, but here in the sunny south we have a couple of inches of ice still on the ground with temps just above freezing so far today.

They really must get a handle on this anecdotal stuff. It may only be a handful of sources out of hundreds, but even one such goof is too much in the overly charged atmosphere that surrounds this topic.

I know for a fact that global warming is real.

My source was this Christmas Card.

They just want to believe so bad, they'll say anything to reassure themselves
