On page 2, the WWF report cited an article in the 5 June 1999 issue of "New Scientist" which quoted Syed Hasnain, Chairman of the International Commission for Snow and Ice (ICSI), saying that most of the glaciers in the Himalayan region "will vanish within 40 years as a result of global warming". That article was based on an email interview, and says that "Hasnain's four-year study indicates that all the glaciers in the central and eastern Himalayas could disappear by 2035 at their present rate of decline." Both the article and the WWF report referred to Hasnain's unpublished 1999 ICSI study, "Report on Himalayan Glaciology", which does not estimate a date for the disappearance of Himalayan glaciers.
