Put this in the category: Let's throw it at the wall and see if it sticks.
In this case, let's tell everyone the glaciers in the Himalayas will be totally melted in 25 years by global warming.
Let's just put this "fact" into our Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change benchmark report and claim that it incorporates the latest and most detailed research into the impact of global warming.
Let's not tell anyone that this is total, er, "speculation" based on a phone call in 1999 and is not supported by any formal research, whatsoever.
Yeah, let's do that.
And, you know what? That's just what they did.
