Just when you think things can’t get any more bizarre with the IPCC, having just learned that the IPPC 2007 report used magazine articles for references, head of the IPCC, Dr. Rajenda Pachauri, provides comedy gold. According to the UK Telegraph, he’s just released what they describe as a “smutty” romance novel, Return to Almora laced with steamy sex, lots of sex. Oh, and Shirley MacLaine.
Here’s the good doctor, grinning like a Cheshire cat at his book launch in India on January 10th.
The Telegraph’s Robert Mendick and Amrit Dhillon in Delhi write:
As the UN’s climate change chief, Dr Rajendra Pachauri has spent his career writing only the driest of academic articles. But the latest offering from the chairman of the UN’s climate change panel is an altogether racier tome.
Some might even suggest Dr Pachauri’s first novel is frankly smutty.
WARNING ADULT CONTENT FOLLOWS:
(First time I’ve had to do that on WUWT)
Return to Almora, published in Dr Pachauri’s native India earlier this month, tells the story of Sanjay Nath, an academic in his 60s reminiscing on his “spiritual journey” through India, Peru and the US.
On the way he encounters, among others, Shirley MacLaine, the actress, who appears as a character in the book. While relations between Sanjay and MacLaine remain platonic, he enjoys sex – a lot of sex – with a lot of women.
In breathless prose that risks making Dr Pachauri, who will be 70 this year, a laughing stock among the serious, high-minded scientists and world leaders with whom he mixes, he details sexual encounter after sexual encounter.
The book, which makes reference to the Kama Sutra, starts promisingly enough as it tells the story of a climate expert with a lament for the denuded mountain slopes of Nainital, in northern India, where deforestation by the timber mafia and politicians has “endangered the fragile ecosystem”.
But talk of “denuding” is a clue of what is to come.
By page 16, Sanjay is ready for his first liaison with May in a hotel room in Nainital. “She then led him into the bedroom,” writes Dr Pachauri.
“She removed her gown, slipped off her nightie and slid under the quilt on his bed… Sanjay put his arms around her and kissed her, first with quick caresses and then the kisses becoming longer and more passionate.
“May slipped his clothes off one by one, removing her lips from his for no more than a second or two.
“Afterwards she held him close. ‘Sandy, I’ve learned something for the first time today. You are absolutely superb after meditation. Why don’t we make love every time immediately after you have meditated?’.”
More follows, including Sanjay and friends queuing to have sexual encounters with Sajni, an impoverished but willing local: “Sanjay saw a shapely dark-skinned girl lying on Vinay’s bed. He was overcome by a lust that he had never known before … He removed his clothes and began to feel Sajni’s body, caressing her voluptuous breasts.”
Take a cold shower, and read the rest of the steamy (possibly a water vapor feedback loop) novel at the Telegraph here
Note to the U.N. – Time to kick Pachy to the curb, he’s not just toast now, he’s carbonized.

UPDATE: Steve McIntyre quips:
In breaking news, Vivid Entertainment has bought the film rights to the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report. They plan to give new meaning to the terms Working Group 1, Working Group 2 and Working Group 3. They promise to give “peer review” an entirely new interpretation.

3. Why is there no comprehensive copy of the underlying data?
The data set of temperatures, which are provided as a gridded product back to 1850 was largely compiled in the 1980s when it was technically difficult and expensive to keep multiple copies of the database.
For IT infrastructure of the time this was an exceedingly large database and multiple copies could not be kept at a reasonable cost. There is no question that anything untoward or unacceptable in terms of best practices at the time occurred.
Nonsense. You don’t tear down something unless you have already built something better to replace it. There is more than enough evidence to put a rope around the neck of such a flimsy cover-up. You can fool the naive with such assertions, but the modus operandi is robust throughout the heirarchy of records.
I am not moved by the words of the penny-pinching weasel excuse.
Those records hierarchies were distrubed and abscounded with ulteriour motive.
While all this is happening, temporarily back to the cold;

I will never be able to hear the term “Global Warming” again with a straight face.
“D. Patterson (10:47:47) :
[…]
Think of the rain forests to be decimated for wood pulp to manufacture your smutty romance novels.”
That’s good clean sequestering of evil CO2. Maybe Dr. RKP wrote his romantic novel to carbon-offset his limo and jet travel. You gotta feel yourself into this weirdo logic a little.
i’m inclined to agree with the poster above. These ‘books’ are often written as a less obvious way of getting private money into the hands of public officials.
Our PM the hapless Gordon Brown has, for instance, penned a series of books about ‘courage under fire’ which are then bulk-purchased by various Labour Party supporting organisations. No-one thinks these books are any good but they still sell in the thousands although not through the normal channels (e.g Amazon or Waterstones).

Dr Pachauri is ahead of the game, just ensuring a new revenue stream before the global warming trough freezes over!
Oh…please no, let’s not.
Pachauri is starting to remind me of another famous Indian scientist, Ben Jabituya.
Pamela Gray (07:21:21) :
On what page number does he describe our hero’s comb over? And does he use mousse to keep it in place? That could explain the red silk hanky. He apparently forgot his ditty bag when he boarded the wom…train. Make do with what ya got.
Come on Pam, cut the boy some slack. We should be thankful someone actually introduced him to the concept of a comb. Those shots of him at the book intro were the first I’ve seen of him where he didn’t look like he did his do with a MixMaster. Although I may be being overly sympathetic, being seriously follicularly challenged myself.
That Pachauri is one ugly dude!
This is surely entertaining but not entirely unexpected. A young Norwegian author, Helene Uri, has recently written a humorous novel, The best among us , showing outstanding insight into this world, a world she herself once was part of (Uri, 2006).
http://www.heleneuri.no/english.htm
Uri receives letters daily from academics and non-academics alike who, according to her agent, ”confide in her [their] stories about intrigues, camaraderie, jealousy and envy from their workplace.”

Sex, lies and desire for power
They shun any means. With sky high ambitions, devilish tricks, and crude seduction, they will win the recognition and honor.
Helene Uri has written the ultimate University novel from the inside of a listed company, where employees gossip more than they research and colleagues steal each other’s projects.
Did you know that the statement “Let’s do something useful for society” is a standing joke among linguists that breaks up from lunch. “It’s about passion, about love, about jealousy and envy. Fraud obsession arrogance and stupidity.”
Semi-infamous, half-loving
The best among us is a semi-infamous, half-loving portrayal of work and sex lives of people who call themselves scientists. For not even scientists are angels: They go to conferences and do the same lectures over again, for each other (with slightly altered titles). The change of job description announcements to disqualify skilled applicants they do not like. They force themselves to be co-authors on others papers. They gossip and favors, cheats and manipulates.
“It’s about passion, about love, about jealousy and envy. Fraud obsession arrogance and stupidity. “

UK climate secretary “Ed Miliband declares war on climate change sceptics” http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/jan/31/ed-miliband-climate-change-scepticism
What might be worrying Militwerp and his friends is that they have blown much of the public sector pension funds on this carbon scam.
“The book, which makes reference to the Kama Sutra, starts promisingly enough as it tells the story of a climate expert …”
It’s quite clear that RKP has decided to take some of Mike Hulme’s advice to heart:
“We need to ask not what we can do for climate change, but to ask what climate change can do for us.”
And:
“Because the idea of climate change is so plastic, it can be deployed across many of our human projects …”
And:
“We will continue to create and tell new stories about climate change and mobilize them in support of our projects.”

I didn’t watch the whole thing, but I did notice RP’s rather fetching GREEN silk handkerchief (and matching tie!).
Then the shot changed to the interviewer who WAS sporting a red silk hanky!
Maybe RP borrowed that one for later………..
Someone said, a while back, that the Indians were too prudish for this sort of steamy bodice-ripper.
Well, I don’t think so. I cannot see the following sculptures adorning St Peter’s at the Vatican, for instance.

Some of those positions are decidedly athletic. I would put my back out, just trying. I presume it is compulsory, at Hindu temples, to take a red silk hanky with you.

I don’t see anything relevant.
Is this Pachauri’s chauffeur-driven car?

After thinking about it, I realize why he put this book out.
He has accepted he will soon face a criminal trial, and is laying the foundations for an insanity defense.
Allan M (12:22:10) :
That Miliband would defend Pachauri at this point, with Pachauri’s documented conflicts of interests and documented ignoring of the glacier hoax, identifies Miliband as one of those defenders of the indefensible, in more ways than one.
Miliband is no better than Pachauri, in some ways he is worse because he should know better and as an elected official has a high responsibility and duty to the British people.
I can only hope the people of Britain will vote out such people in the next election sometime this Spring.
