(01:03) Report
March 16 – Chairman of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), R K Pachauri, said he would not resign for making claims that the Himalayan glaciers would melt by the year 2035, which he termed as “one mistake”.
Some climate researchers have criticized the IPCC in recent days for over-stating the speed of shrinking of Himalayan glaciers, whose seasonal thaw helps to supply water to many nations including India and China.

Interesting. Pachauri is Indian, and is being questioned by other Indians in English.
Who would his replacement be??
He’s another Gordon Brown – hopelessly inadequate, but refuses to go. Eventually they’ll both be pushed, hopefully, but no doubt both will depart with coffers full of money, and slide into sinecures guaranteeing further undeserved wealth. Slimebags.
I’m sure Pachauri will step down once he’s arranged a ‘suitable’ severance package. ;->
Yeah, one BIG mistake.
Of course he won’t resign. He’ll be spending more time with his family of course!

According to the latest damage assessment reports Pachauri does an excellent job to discredit himself, the UN IPCC, their reports and their conferences. There is no reason to expect that to change if he will resign.
So if you ask me he is doing us a great favor to stay.
Anyhow for the moment I couldn’t think of a more damaging replacement with the potential to top his talents, except for Al Gore!
Hang in there Patches. Don’t you go anywhere. You’re doing an awesome job with AGW.
Just not in the way you think you are.
The fact is that Pachauri cannot account for the lack of melt in the Himalaya, and it’s a travesty that he can’t.
Many languages are spoken in India – English is the common language.
Where are the real journalists who would point out the 45% of the “peer reviews in report4” come from Green activists with no science to support wild claims?
Hey,
I think you misspelled Pachauri’s name in the title?
REPLY: Fixed thanks
Grammar boo-boo. “Here’s the details of the story” should read “Here ARE the details of the story:” Hey, grammar is about the only thing I am qualified to comment on around here, with all these science smarties. 🙂
He sold his soul to the devil. Or…is he the devil who buys souls?

English is the *a-hem* lingua franca of the subcontinent. Hindi is the official language, but the laws and judicial proceedings are written in English, because there are a scad of non-Hindi speakers in India.
Just across the border, Pakistan has two official languages, Urdu and English — and more Paks speak English than Urdu.
In the interest of full disclosure, I also speak more English than Urdu.

India has a bazillion different languages and dialects. English is the lingua Franca.

There are over 500 languages/dialects spoken in India. The one little slip-up the British made was to supply a unifying language. See what happened?
My birdfeeder is sure active. I have a new bird, the Pachauri. It doesn’t eat any seed from the feeder. It sits on top of the feeder, squawks, and steals food from the other birds feeding. Hummmm, where is my shotgun?
Please don’t go!
We couldn’t pick a better stooge!
Hope he stays well beyond his stale date. He’s the 2nd best salesman alive for the skeptics (after Al, of course).
Another report on bricks falling out of the IPCC wall:

Although India bought the AGW scam hook, line, and sinker, the press and the people there, as negligent as they have been in the past in asking questions– *hate* a fraud.
Shine the light, NDTV!
Well, Reuters (international news agency) is owned by the Rothschilds (an international banking dynasty).
International banking dynasties were behind the foundation of the UN.
The UN is Pachauri’s employer.
So, IMHO, they’re either:
a) turning the heat up on him to force him to resign (for whatever reason), or
b) Letting the rest of us know that they ain’t letting this whole ‘controversy’ get in the way of their agenda.
But I have no real way of knowing: only time will tell.

India has over 400 languages ( plus thousands of dialects ) the only way that Indians can communicate with each other ( thanks to the British ) is in English.
I once had a street beggar in Delhi, tell me that the longest English word that he new was ‘iambicpentameter ‘ he quoted Shakespeare for his penny’s.
