Once again, the US corporate media has not given
this report any print. For a list of alarming facts
about the climate that, for the most part, were only
published in foreign countries (mostly Europe)

Himalayan Glaciers
An article in a French newspaper Monday tells of the
glaciers in the Himalayas receeding at a rate of nearly
230 feet per year, and the regional director for the
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
saying "If temperatures continue to rise as it is, then
there will be no snow and ice in the Himalayas in 50
years time". That is the drinking water for over 1.3
billion people.
Americans are being kept in the dark about the
changing climate by the corp. media, our government's
political hacks, and the energy giant's dis-information
campaign.

I don’t want to name anyone but I happen to know for a fact that there are certain vested interests that are lobbying to suppress information about environmental destruction, climate change and pollution. There are scientists who are being paid to debunk the idea of global warming. The profit motive again.
