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.

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.”

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.

He looks like a disciple of Dr Timothy Leary..

Google “IPCC head smutty sex novel” and you will see that this has gone around the world like a wildfire! …The sad thing is that he will probably make a million out of the novel now, with all this publicity!
“old44 (22:35:42) :
Are you sure that’s meditated and not medicated?”
Well there’s no indication that he has applied the precautionary principle.
Oh, it’s pretty hot, all right. But it’s still not as good as Lynne Cheney’s novel, or Scooter Libby’s novel.
He probably didn’t write it but agreed for someone to cash in on his name.
I hope some WUWTer in India will pick up a copy and post the “good parts” here.
-“I did NOT have sexual relations with that ghost writer….”
I will immediately contact Mr. Jagland in Norway, and arrange so that Mr. Pachauri is nominated for the next Nobel Prize in litterature! Its almost a done deal.
By the way, did he show Shirley his Hockey Stick?
Andy Scrase: the Gangotri glacier is advancing?since when? From what I’ve seen from recent photos and google earth, it has definitely receded quite a bit since I visited it in 1982. But of course nothing that even remotely indicates that it would disappear completely within 25 years…

Thanks. Given the preceeding picture of some grinning, dirty old man, I decided to not proceed any further!
Well it only makes sense… he’s been peddling “climate porn” all these years, it’s really only a small step to cheesy porn novels.
And I hate to break it to you, but guys like that attract women. Yup… there is a painfully large percentage of women who don’t care what someone looks like as long as they have wealth and power.
Meh – if nothing else, I guarantee his book is more plausible than anything the IPCC publishes.

Every time I see the word ‘robust’, I will substitute it with ‘voluptuous’.
Just like to point out the book’s title is an anagram of ‘amoral UN rotter’.
Honestly, this saga is too funny! You just couldn’t make this [snip] up! .. well unless you work for the IPCC that is. =)
Wait. Didn’t WUWT just do a story on Punxsutawney Phil? Oh well, it’s still a couple days till Groundhog Day.
So now he’s responsible for two works of fiction…..

Hey! Don’t be too hard (sorry) on him for writing this (if he did). Gavin couldn’t have written it; he’s from Wiltshire!
Writing steamy romance novels: so easy a caveman can do it…

Brilliant! (assumed you were joking at first)
Well you know what they say about those who talk about it…..

Now I know what caused that sudden uptick on the Hockey Stick!!!
A chap I sing in church with who works a the Met Office responded to a letter I wrote last year on CC in the paraish magazine. He has invited me for a drink to talk about the science, which I will accept. I will decline the invitation to go to the Met Office – unless at the weekend – as it would be merely a propaganda exercise as they all speak the same language with no shadow of doubt. They believe everything they say top to bottom. No alternative view is accepted or even tolerated. I’m no scientist. I feel it would be akin to the Labour Party inviting Margaret Thatcher to the annual Labour Party Conference in Black Pool to listen to leader Neil Kinnock’s closing speech, what would be the point?
All very interesting, but what has it got to do with the main issue (climate change)?
“They promise to give “peer review” an entirely new interpretation.”
As in PEER REVIEW?
