Photo gallery: Vanishing Glaciers of the Greater Himalaya
Stunning images from high in the Himalayas – showing the extent by which many glaciers have shrunk in the past 80 years or so – have gone on display at the Royal Geographical Society in central London. Between 2007 and 2010, David Breashears retraced the steps of early photographic pioneers such as Major E O Wheeler, George Mallory and Vittorio Sella – to try to re-take their views of breathtaking glacial vistas. The mountaineer and photographer is the founder of GlacierWorks, a non-profit organisation that uses art, science and adventure to raise public awareness about the consequences of climate change in the Himalayas.

Desdemona, you really need to stop posting these kinds of pictures and articles. You're going to upset the denialist! Evidence such as this are irrefutable, something that "does not exist" any more then climate change exist, or anthropogenic warming!
My suggestion is to stick to the innuendos, hearsay and internet "experts" on climate change, usually found on the bottom of any article that tries to lay out scientific facts or evidence.
There, you will find the real experts on climate change, the ones with advanced degrees and years of research and study. They'll be happy to dispel any facts of scientific evidence that you would dare post.
You'll make many friends this way and stop rocking the boat! You might even find yourself the recipient of a large anonymous cash donation for a major corporation or oil company.
If you listen and heed this advice, you will undoubtedly gain many new readers too!
