There are some interesting developments in British press about the IPCC and Pachauri, both on the extraordinary financial conflicts of interest in the IPCC process.
In the UK Telegraph, Richard North of the EU Referendum and Christopher Booker strongly suggest IPCC boss Rajendra Pachauri has earned what they claim are vast sums of money from his connection to the trade in carbon credits. North writes:
In addition to his paid post as Director-General of TERI, Pachauri has taken on over twenty additional posts since becoming chairman of the IPCC – another of his paid posts.
From the Telegraph:
What has also almost entirely escaped attention, however, is how Dr Pachauri has established an astonishing worldwide portfolio of business interests with bodies which have been investing billions of dollars in organisations dependent on the IPCC’s policy recommendations.
These outfits include banks, oil and energy companies and investment funds heavily involved in ‘carbon trading’ and ‘sustainable technologies’, which together make up the fastest-growing commodity market in the world, estimated soon to be worth trillions of dollars a year.
Pachauri’s really not happy about this, and has blasted the article in The Indian Express and The Times of India.
I think Pachauri’s train might be off the rails though, since he’s claiming:
The accusations, published in the The Sunday Telegraph, were coming from the same group of people who had tried unsuccessfully to discredit the IPCC and the “irrefutable science” on climate change by hacking personal emails of some scientists a few weeks ago, Pachauri said.
Gosh, accusing journalists now of being the Climatgate hackers? Desperate are we?
It would be interesting to know the actual flowsheet of “personalities” involved in this so an innocent enterprise. Who is the “chairman of the board”?
OT: but from the ‘odd what you find in the internet department’ – it turns out that Pachauri plays women’s cricket:
Took wicket number 150 in Feb 2002 while playing an exhibition match against the Indian women’s cricket team at ‘The Eco-Friendly RETREAT Trophy’ in 2002.

How could such a charming eccentric be on the take?
One can’t help but wonder if news will soon leak that the CRU team’s main interest was actually in Morris dancing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_dance – sadly this page has not yet been deleted)
Now I know why I sometimes get the feeling we are being ‘railroaded’.

Similar to the excuses trotted out by the railway companies in the UK in the past, it seems that it was “the wrong kind of snow”.”
I don’t doubt the explanation is correct. We found out about that problem about 30 years ago in Sweden.
I think it was Friedrich Hegel who said:
“The only thing we learn from history is that we never learn anything from history”.

I’m feeling kinda dumb. I knew the absolution credits would be a big business, and if one sold immediately after the e-mails were released, one would have made a big profit.
Ha, or short ’em all the way down, finally leading to the leaker…..Geesus! “Soros, you magnificant bastard!” He’s done it again! Turning disaster into profit – what a man!
Next stop, Gore’s Generation Management with General Electric and NBC, and don’t forget the Currencies. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s been loading up on Big Oil at the same time or even buying up whole oil fields themselves!

disasterself indeed./tongue just barely in cheekOh dear lord. Is there not a single honest, even if misguided, person amongst the warmist cabal? Just one that can say, when this mess collapses….that they honestly believed they were doing the right thing but were mistaken? *shakes head*
My dictionary (New Shorter OED, 1997) tells me ‘thug’ is an Indian word, meaning a cheat or swindler in Hindi.
I had left a message on Pachauri’s blog several days ago asking the good doctor to address Delingpole’s discussion of his financial interests. I see that my comments are no longer there.

Has there been any political debate about the science of climate change in any Parliament or congress?
20 odd years ago a few scientists put forward the theory of AGW and over time most politicians have taken it as a given.
Yes, they all debate what to do about it, but not whether it is true or even if it is less dangerous than converting to a carbon free society.
The closest a sceptical politician will get to expressing an opinion is in a vote about Cap&trade for instance.
That is like only having a vote on what size your handcuffs will be.
We need a full and open political debate on the science followed by national referendums.
Put your money where your mouth is, as Al Gore would say.

Reply:
So how do we do that. I just clear cut 100 ac to make pasture, sounds like I could make more money planting trees but I do not know the mechanism.
Reply
lol, I’m not really sure. One could just make a website and go with it. (P.T. Barnum style) I’m sure you could plug on some of the AGW websites and make a go of it. Or, if your in the states, the feds are actually paying people to keep certain trees. Perhaps you can plant them and have them give you money for not plowing them up. That way, you could “double dip” as it were. But you should always use caution when accepting money from the govt. There is almost always “strings” attached. While this may not be entirely ethical, there is an appeal to scam the scammers.
The Stern Review is one of the most influential documents quoted by “World Leaders.”

Lord Nicholas Stern,
Advisor to IDEAglobal Group, parent company of IDEAcarbon. Lord Stern has declared this interest, in the House of Lords Register of interests……so that’s alright then
Dr. Samuel Fankhauser is a Principal Research Fellow at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change at the London School of Economics, headed by Stern. He also serves as Chief Economist at Globe International, the international legislator forum.
He just happens to be a member of the UK climate change committee and sub-committee on mitigation, (ie Carbon trading).
In 2007/08, Fankhauser was Managing Director at IDEAcarbon:
IDEAcarbon’s premier strategic advice service has been created to give senior decision makers tailored intelligence about key developments in climate change policy and the evolution of the carbon markets.

King Salmon recorded three consecutive record low temperatures this month on the 17th, 18th, and 19th, of -20°F, -8°F and -12°F; the previous records were -12°F, -7°F, and -11°F respectively. Kodiak observed a record low on the 17th of 15°F, the old record being 16°F. Valdez also had a new record low temperature on the 20th of 8°F, the old record was 9°F.
Another Brit speaks out
ITS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD
“Kids are introduced to science as something that is life threatening and deprived of exploration through health and
safety. They are being brainwashed into believing that science and technology is crippling the Earth and our future when exactly the opposite is true.”

Maurice Strong is the real puppet master behind this whole swindle. He pretty much created the relevant UN institutions including the UNEP and the IPCC. He organized the first Stockholm conference, Rio, etc.. The number of people he has placed in various institutions like WWF and like organizations is staggering and helps create the myth of “consensus”. Pachauri himself is a Strong creation. Ask yourself, why is an Indian railroad engineer in charge of the most influential climate organization in the world? Because Maurice Strong wanted him there, that’s why.
The amount of money Pachauri stands to make if this scam goes through pales in comparison to the amount of money Strong will make. Among his many AGW business interests, Strong sits on the boards of a couple carbon exchanges including the Chicago exchange. Interestingly enough, when the Chicago Exchange was just getting started it received a grant from the Joyce Foundation. Sitting on the board of that Chicago foundation was an obscure state senator from Chicago, one Barack Obama.
I’m sure that was just a coincidence too.
Our presidents have to divest of business interest holdings that could stand to profit from the President simply because he/she is president. You don’t even have to wait to see if the businesses profit. They never get the chance while the prez is in office. Sorry climate guru. By your own words, your payments enrich your businesses, nonprofit or otherwise. Divest, else something is rotten in Denmark and it ain’t snow OR ice.
Indiana Bones (10:03:37) :
“One must wonder, does the UN/IPCC have any kind of ethics guidelines for employees?? How long would a U.S. Politician with similar business interests last? Or any politician in any but the most bought and paid for country? True fiction is unbelievable!…
I hate to tell you but U.S. Politicians have been busy committing treason and murder – knowingly for years.
Bill Clinton had Dan Amstutz (VP of Cargill), Robert Shapiro (CEO of Monsanto) and Mike Taylor (Monsanto) in key parts of his administration when he ratified WTO. Amstutz wrote the Agreement on Ag which lead to this: The Festering Fraud Behind Food Safety Reform
“Readers of the New York Times were recently treated to a rarely glimpsed view of how the globally-sourced industrial food complex assembles the raw ingredients of the omnipresent hamburger…Moss’s article tracing the processing history of the E.coli-contaminated hamburger consumed by Stephanie Smith, .. Moss uncovers how the company failed to follow its own safety plans without facing any interference from the USDA until someone got very, very sick.
However, the article leaves out critical information from its analysis that would help us understand why so much is wrong with the meat inspection process today… if we don’t gain a fuller understanding of how and why the meat industry’s inspection process became an essentially unregulated, privatized affair, we are likely to repeat the same mistake and allow Congress to pass food “safety” legislation that will serve to make the world a safer place for the cartels controlling the global produce trade but do nothing at all for the safety of our food supply…” http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2009/12/the-festering-fraud-behind-food-safety-reform/index.html
John Munsell tried for two years to get action against a large meat packer that shipped him contaminated meat. He contacted the USDA, his congressman, the media and even a liability lawyer. The USDA and Congress ignored the problem until the death of a woman forced them to investigate. However despite a Congressional Investigation of this incident and another of the Hallmark plant inhumane practices, Congressman Waxman’s “Food Folly” bill specifically instructs the practices (HACCP) leading to the poisoning and deaths of Americans are to be left intact while small food businesses and farmers are saddled with regulations specifically designed to drive them out of business.
Control of our Energy and our food supply are linked and the threads all lead back to the UN and eventually to the same multi-billionaires. 80% of the world food supply is now controlled by ten corporations and about half are privately owned.
“Ten corporations now control nearly every aspect of the world’s food chain. Four control 90 per cent of the world’s exports of corn, wheat, tobacco, tea, pineapple, jute and forest products. “ http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/1997/jun/20/johnvidal
Here is an in-depth analysis: http://www.corporatewatch.org/?lid=2628
The big corporations and bankers are running this world not the voters. Now they have decided to take the gloves off and remove the “appearance” of democracy and freedom, first by using “free trade” – WTO & NAFTA, and global warming to implement a world government and after that control of our food and energy supplies.
I hope we can wake people up to the imminent danger but the media and the politicians are not in our control and I am afraid we are destined to learn from our mistakes the hard way just as Germany did. Only this time there will be no USA and Great Britain to safe us.
Despite the fact that a large portion of the world seems to be following this farce off the cliff, it’s still amazing to me that even a fraction of this information about Pachauri wold not bring this entire scheme to the ground.
Independent of the science itself, the conflict of interest here is so vast, grotesque, and obvious, that I have little faith in where this planet is heading with regard to “world governance.”
Crooked to the core.
Jack in Oregon (10:14:24) :
Check out Gordon Browns quote…
The UN’s consensual method of negotiation, which requires all 192 countries to reach agreement, needs to be reformed to ensure that the will of the majority prevails, he feels.
The Prime Minister will say: “Never again should we face the deadlock that threatened to pull down those talks. Never again should we let a global deal to move towards a greener future be held to ransom by only a handful of countries. One of the frustrations for me was the lack of a global body with the sole responsibility for environmental stewardship.
“I believe that in 2010 we will need to look at reforming our international institutions to meet the common challenges we face as a global community.” The summit failed to produce a political agreement among all the countries. Delegates instead passed a motion on Saturday “taking note” of an accord drawn up the night before by five countries: the US, China, India, Brazil and South Africa.
Despite being the first world leader to join the summit, Mr Brown was excluded from the key meeting where the compromise was decided.
The fellow is deranged. Sound and fury (his favourite method) signifying nothing.
Message to G Brown from a voter:
………..* off.
* Supply your own word from the usual list. Now or at the next election (he probably doesn’t want one of those).
The UN is the “black hole of coruption” and we are being sucked into it by a bunch of world leaders intent on creating a one world government with them in charge. As someone pointed out, the opportunities for graft are infinit. I don’t believe that all the world leaders are stupid. I do believe they are opportunists and see a great source of taxes and therefor power.
It reminds me of those business channels where some analyst comes on and advises everybody to buy a particular stock. You just know he has bought the stock himself and when the public buys the price will rise and he will sell before the price falls back again.
I saw a good headline in the Grauniad too. (paraphrased)
Miliband condemns China for destroying his fantasies.
China trembles. He he.
TATA and Indian company that had purchased the British Steel industry only a few years ago…
A few years…? more like a few hundred days. /They bought Corus in Jan 2007.
Pachauri is the holy man of this vast subterranean network of ‘business’ entrepeneurs in India who are cashing in, as we speak, in the carbon market, i.e., in making something from nothing. His connections lead nowhere but extend everywhere. He absorbs climate criticism like a sponge because you cannot trace either climate activism or climate science back to him. As an example, how much would you hold GW Bush responsible for intelligence failure during the Iraq war (pardon the unfortunate pun)? A lot of people believe Pachauri won the Nobel prize.
I do not however feel that TERI is cooking the books behind its CO2 smokescreen to hide fund transfers to Pachauri. Its opaque accounting practices are probably so, simply because that is the norm with many Indian companies. Auditing standards are dismally low in many Indian NGOs and TERI is most probably no exception.
Pachauri should reveal his accounting practices and revenue fully, instead of name-calling those who question his very questionable connections.
JackStraw (11:58:43) : …and that guy now lives in China. Which is the target he is aiming to?. Dangerous, because all this global warming/climate change it is only the disguise. But if falls there in disgrace or in inconvenience…head out!
It has long been considered that the US was the target of this massive redistribution of wealth, but for a moment, consider the case that over time the biggest “target” of this scheme turned out to be China … and China wanted no part of it.
The irony of communist China being against “wealth redistribution” is just so far out there.
