Though, he still has a chance at being on the Best Smutty Romance Novel Writers of 2010 list.

What a difference a year makes: [IPCC head] Pachauri was allegedly #5 of the world’s “top” global thinkers a year ago; now, he’s not in the top 100
The FP Top 100 Global Thinkers of 2010| Foreign Policy
[Where’s Pachauri?!]
Rajendra Pachauri
for ending the debate over whether climate change matters.
Chairman, intergovernmental panel on climate change | India
As the link between human activity and climate change becomes conventional wisdom and governments work urgently to establish a global climate treaty, Pachauri deserves no small amount of credit for creating such an extraordinary shift in public opinion.
…Any progress toward thwarting climate change this year owes a great deal to Pachauri.

Not saying much. Most of those people on that FP list are actually not “great thinkers.” Most of them are just kiss ass, pedigree educated thinkers within the current system that FP espouses. Pachauri is just not in the group this year because his failures would make others around him look bad, even if they are not that much different from him.

“So how did he go from #5 to nowhere in a year? Did his brain fall out?”
Simple. They have been rumbled.
I just love these well-based lists of “best this-and-that”.

Somewhat disappointing to see Stephen Chu still on the list (at #18). At least his photo shows him in deep thought
Probably pondering the legislative process in the post election week. Or maybe he’s sat on the can…
So he gets a downgrade when he couldn’t sell the lies. He needs horns to be complete.
List of global thinkers, huh? If that’s the case what the heck is a thick as pig droppings numpty like David Cameron doing sitting at No 31?
the only thing he thinks about is when the next grant comes from. What a goose, it is very sad that peoply believe in global warming one day THAY will wake up ?
I just noticed that the FP Top 100 Global Thinkers List of 2010 actually has 120 persons listed, not 100. I guess that the ability to count doesn’t matter when you “think globally”. 🙂

Paul Reiter has explained us in an e-mail list what is the likely reason why Pachauri was removed. While Patchy is a vegetarian, he actually eats beans. That’s too bad because in this way, he still produces potent greenhouse gases – similar ones as his co-winner of the peace Nobel prize.
“Best idea of 2009: Vegetarianism as a means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”
Best idea of 2010: How many were there; which way were they heading? I must find them. I’m, I’m – I’m their leader!
Poor Patchy!. Perhaps it was because of his XXX novel.
It appears to say more about “Foreign Policy”. The “list” is another example of an ineffective and corrupt press only interested in the bottom line of their bank account with no regard whatsoever to anything close to integrity and truth. “Science” and “Nature” and a gigabunch of others play the same game.
( O.K., PS: It also says a gigabunch about high level government employees.)
He has all sorts of scientific shortcomings and it’s astonishing he was ever promoted to the important position he holds.
But — again — the fact he wrote a novel that (gasp!) has sex in it is of no importance, certainly not as a negative factor.
Global Schemers List seems closer to the mark.

Um, as House Chef for a family that’s had about 3/4 suddenly decide to be vegetarians, I can personally attest that any reduction of my CO2 emissions has been more than offset by “emissions” increases in that potent greenhouse gas methane…
Me? I’m the omnivore of the group… “Low Residue” food is fed to pilots and astronauts prior to flights for a reason. BTW, I have some MRE’s labeled “Contains Beans. NOT for Pre-Flight Use”… Somehow I think the military has a better handle on this stuff…
(MRE’s are “Meals, Ready To Eat”, the current form of combat rations of the military).

That shows “effort in thinking” not “deep thought”… and we all know that the effort it takes is inversely proportional to the ability…
Have to say it, if these are the top global thinkers, then it truly is worse than we thought 😉
It is lovely,booted out the voodoo man Rajendra Pachauri from new panel.He has made all madness talk from Ratan Tata’s glass house,TERI.The man look like a terrorist and he is some thing rotten and strange.
Very interesting. I will subscribe
