Nobel laureate & IPCC chief Pachauri reveals his inner Shirley Maclaine

This is a truly chilling thought — that the global environmental movement might have accepted someone whose ideas and culture are this vapid and banal into its leadership.

Greens should be deeply, deeply grateful that Pachauri’s novel has stayed off the shelves in the US.

The complete silence surrounding this important publishing event (how many celebrity Nobel prize winners publish racy sex novels?) in the US is all the more surprising because the novel was a big deal in India. The sudden disappearance of Dr. Pachauri from global media and the iron curtain of silence that fell in the west over this truly appalling book may be welcome signs that the global environmental leadership is belatedly beginning to acquire some elementary caution and good sense.

Pachauri won't take the hint

RAJENDRA PACHAURI has a chauffeur, lives in luxury and jets across the world on his quest to ban Sunday roasts and cheap flights.
Now he's accused of exaggerating the climate change crisis.

he has never had any qualms about lecturing other people on how to reduce their carbon
footprint, insisting for instance that we all give up meat to help save the planet.

But this week the independent team of scientists commissioned by the UN to look into his stewardship of the IPCC was withering in some of its conclusions.

Pachauri immediately made it clear he was not prepared to go quietly. “I now have an added responsibility to see the recommendations through,”
he announced.

Nobel laureate Pachauri admits the IPCC just guesses the numbers

Such is the pressure finally beginning to bear on the IPCC that Pachauri has been forced into the ridiculous position of trying to rescue credibility by contradicting most of their past PR campaign. He’s taken the extraordinary step of admitting they don’t have hard numbers, hey, but it’s all OK because the IPCC is really a government agency to make policy, not to write scientific reports “that don’t see the light of day”.

So he’s admitting that the IPCC was all about policy prescriptions all along? And the science was just fudged-up window dressing to provide an excuse? Well, who would have guessed.
