Latest Times Atlas shows Greenland parts melted due to global warming, scientists catch error, Atlas to be re-published

.
The new Times Atlas mistakenly depicted parts of Greenland ice sheets to have disappeared. Scientists called them on the error. The Atlas will be re-issued but the incorrect version will be used in the meantime.

9/21/11, "Global warming and the twisting of our children's minds," Christopher Booker, UK Daily Mail

"Britain’s leading polar ice experts at the Scott Polar Research Institute said recent satellite images of Greenland made clear that there are numerous glaciers and permanent ice cover where the Times Atlas shows ice-free conditions and the emergence of land. ‘There is to our knowledge no support for this claim in the published scientific literature,’ they said.

So one of the world’s most respected reference books, it seems, has been caught out perpetrating what amounts to yet more propaganda for the belief in global warming.

One of the most disturbing features of this is that copies of the new atlas may soon be found in school libraries, where it will be cited by teachers as yet more evidence that climate change is now dramatically changing the world we live in.

With active encouragement from the Government, whole generations of school-children have now had the apocalyptic threat of climate change pushed down their throats — not just in science classes, but in almost any subject you can think of (questions on the need to fight global warming
  • have even cropped up in English GCSE papers)....
If there is cheer to be derived from this story of the Times Atlas error, it might be that the people quickest to knock it on the head were scientists who still believe in proper scientific evidence
  • before trying to scare the world witless."...
