Mouse: How many of those 15000 Himalayan glaciers do they include in that "planet-wide trends"?
Zero. Therefore it is not planet wide and not accurate. The same way that GISS weeded out 4500 weather stations that reported lower temperatures.
GISS and NOAA took their temperature data from 6,000 weather stations around the world. By 1990, though, this figure had mysteriously dropped to 1500. Even more mysteriously this 75 per cent reduction in the number of stations used had a clear bias against those at higher latitudes and elevations.
