Oh dear,  oh dear.  Donna Laframboise writes:

bombshell: the India chapter of the World Wildlife Fund was, too.

That’s right, folks. The chairman of the IPCC is cashing cheques issued by the WWF.

Pachauri Takes WWF Money

There should be no reason for anyone to trust Mr. Pachauri again, as he has been compromised by activism. He’s damaged goods now.

Oh don’t be so picky, Anthony! It’s the IPCC and their love bunny the WWF. That’s called love baby! What’s a little date, and some late night awkward petting between lovers?

This reallyis the time for Pachauri to step down if the IPCC wants to retain any semblance of respectability going forward.

It’s only fair – they must try to keep up with all that dirty money the oil companies are throwing at the sceptics. /sarc

I’ve been calling Pachauri a crook since the “voodoo science’ debacle, But this reads as if the chairman of the IPCC is putting checks in his personal account, which I doubt it the case.

He was damaged goods long before this revelation.

“He’s damaged goods now.”
What do you mean: “Now?”

I am sure the BBC will be along very soon now, to deliver in depth coverage of this…..

Are you sure he didn’t get the money from the World Wrestling Federation?

February 4, 2013 12:38 pm

I’m willing to bet it has no affect on his continuing as Chairman …

Who trusted him to begin with? “voodoo science” ring any bells?

has anyone trusted Pachauri in years?
unfortunately, AAP (Australian Associated Press) obviously still “trusts” Gore enough to contact him and allow him to interfere/inject disinformation in the coming Australian elections:
5 Feb: Sky News: Gore says direct action plan won’t work
Australians should take a careful look at the progress made to slow climate change here and around the world before the federal election, former US vice-president Al Gore says.
The prominent environmental campaigner believes Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s carbon tax shows courage and vision but the coalition’s direct action plan to deal with climate change won’t work.
Speaking from Tennessee, Mr Gore said he would be watching how the 2013 federal election unfolded and what that meant for action on climate change.
‘I’m very impressed with your current prime minister,’ he told ABC TV on Monday, referring to Labor’s carbon tax.
‘She’s shown a great deal of courage and vision.’…
***He said with recent floods, fires and extreme weather, there was powerful evidence the climate crisis was having a harsh impact on Australia.
***’Mother Nature (is) now speaking very loudly and persuasively, in keeping with what the scientists predicted would unfold,’ he said…

Why am I neither shocked or surprise. When will this headline make it to the MSM?

Wasn’t he damaged good before this? How many different scandals does it take to truly take someone down that is on “The Team”, someone working for “The Cause”? Probably a lot more than this.

The post reads, “There should be no reason for anyone to trust Mr. Pachauri again.”
Was there any reason to trust him earlier? He is the IPCC charirman. In and of itself, that should be enough to initiate caution.
