Scientists now warn that the Himalayan glaciers which supply fresh water to a billion people in the region could disappear completely by 2035. Think about what this means: Water from the Himalayans flows through India and Pakistan. India's rivers are not only vital to its agriculture but are also critical to its religious practice. Pakistan, for its part, is heavily dependent on irrigated farming to avoid famine.

Religion is now suffering due to global warming ppllleeeaassseee!

HELLO if the water was not melting there would be no water in the rivers. If the water runs out there will be no water in the rivers. SAME RESULT. Lets see what happens when cooling kicks in and freezes what is left.

50 DAYS WITHOUT A SUNSPOT AND COUNTING. Not to worry the earth is cooling down just fine.
