Residents in Kashmir face effects of climate change

Scientists on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have acknowledged that some data about glacier recession in the Himalayas did not meet their own standards for scientific rigor.  The admission comes after the IPCC drew criticism about the quality of their research.  In a statement, the group said this instance of poor scientific judgment does not effect their overall assessment that climate change and the resulting loss of glaciers will have severe and negative effects on human populations. And, as FSRN’s Shahnawaz Khan reports, scientists and residents alike are already seeing the changes in the hilly regions of Kashmir.
