Event

Scientists were surprised to discover in February that the world's highest mountains - the chain which runs from the Himalayas to Tian Shan on the border of China and Kyrgyzstan - have experienced no net ice loss in the past decade. Does this cast doubt on the phenomenon of global warming? And should such reappraisals of the science impact on the international negotiations aimed at curbing climate change? This session will discuss the state of play of the science and the politics with some of the country's foremost experts.
