Scientist’s Himalayan mission provides unwelcome proof: glaciers are dying: "Inching over the treacherous surface of the Rathong glacier, almost 5,000 metres (16,400ft) high in the eastern Himalayas, Dr Shresth Tayal stooped to inspect a 7m steel rod he buried vertically in the ice six months ago. After a decade studying Himalayan glaciers, he had expected to find at least half the rod exposed -- an alarming enough indication of how fast the Rathong is melting -- but even he was surprised by what he found last week. 'Six metres in six months,' he cried, breathing hard in the thin mountain air as The Times and the rest of his team stepped gingerly between hidden crevasses and gushing rivulets of freshly melted ice. 'It's pathetic,' he said. 'The glacier is dying.'"

How do we convince our inner caveman to be greener?: "Despite mournful polar bears and charts showing carbon emissions soaring, most people find it hard to believe that global warming will affect them personally. Recent polls by the Pew Research Centre in Washington, DC, found that 75-80 per cent of participants regarded climate change as an important issue. But respondents ranked it last on a list of priorities.

This disparity largely stems from a feeling of powerlessness. 'When we can't actually remove the source of our fear, we tend to adapt psychologically by adopting a range of defence mechanisms,' says Tom Crompton, change strategist for the environmental organisation WWF. 'These may range from blaming others to manifesting themselves as apathy.' Part of the fault lies with our inner caveman.

Evolution has programmed humans to pay most attention to issues that will have an immediate impact. Our ancestors fretted about club-swinging neighbours and the predator at the watering hole. Any carbon emissions from the cave didn't make the grade then and still don't today. 'We worry most about now because if we don't survive for the next minute, well, we're not going to be around in ten years' time,' . [...]"
