That’s right, folks. The chairman of the IPCC is cashing cheques issued by the WWF.
Full story here:
There should be no reason for anyone to trust Mr. Pachauri again, as he has been compromised by activism. He’s damaged goods now.

And on the same day as Chris Huhne (one-time UK minister for climate change) pleads guilty to perverting the course of justice and will likely go to chokey for a long while.

The cynical among us might wonder if there is a single player with any integrity at all in ‘the climate establishment’. And having so wondered, conclude that it seems unlikely.
Pandagate!
He said Any dough is good dough
So I took what I could get
Yes I took what I could get
I took the dough from the Nobel committee
And From WWF
Bubububaby From WWF
Here’s something Here’s something you’ll never gonna forget
I’m paid by WWF
You’ve got it all wrong. The WWF was reimbursing Pachauri the beer and travel money that was due him.
Some of you are saying he should step down from chair of IPCC.
I don.t think so – he needs a little more slack rope yet before we take a turn and take his feet from under him; at present he could still get back up and stagger on, and we need to make sure that when he and the IPCC go down they stay down.
Pachauri? – unsustainable!
WWF? – stainable!
This should not surprise anyone. He’s just like Hansen, Gore, et al in the climate money machine…
Just remember, folks – Green Greed is Good!
I am sure it was for further research on a steamy romance novel. I mean he has to preserve the “wild life”, right?
They will just trade one fig leaf for this one. Move along. Nothing to see here. /sarc
BMW a sponsor ? Maybe they can explain the conservation in their ‘run-flat’ tyres … that can’t be repaired. In 50,000km of travel I have had to replace 8 tyres through puncturing; tyres in good condition, 2 of which had less than 100km use.
I’m sorry Donna Laframboise.
Who doesn’t Pachauri take money from?
Now that would be news!
“There should be no reason for anyone to trust Mr. Pachauri again, as he has been compromised by activism. He’s damaged goods now.” Activism seems to have no effect on Jim Hansen’s goverenment job, though.
“There should be no reason for anyone to trust Mr. Pachauri again, as he has been compromised by activism. He’s damaged goods now.”
Mr. Watts, you mean Pachinko was trustworthy before?
Give the guy a break. He should be allowed to cash in now, while he still has his looks.
It’s the UN. No surprises.
Eternal Optimist: Gag!
This article is nearly a reason to ‘unfollow’ WUWT. I was really expecting to read that they had given money to him directly – not that they had simply sponsored a conference he organised. You’re really scraping the barrel with this. (I wonder if you will publish this comment?).
This is new news? The guy is a money vacuum-cleaner. Ever read a description of the trappings and grounds of his “institute” in India? Besides, there’s “good money” and there’s “evil money”. The new environmental religion makes a distinction. The “evil money” comes from any for-profit organization. The “good money” comes either from taxpayers’ pockets or from any non-profit purporting to defend the environment, regardless of how money-grubbing, bloated and self-serving that organization might be.
Think positive. If he’s keeping busy with cr@p like this, he won’t have the time to do any more novel writing.
“Return to Algora”
It takes money to fly half way around the world for a cricket match.
A show of hands please; anyone surprised by this “news”?
He is a prickly beast. Be interesting to see how he responds …
Gore with masseuses. Suzuki with teenagers. Italian and French politicians with professional girls …
Power, money, adulation, sex. What a great combo. Too bad truth-telling wasn’t one of the side-effects.
OK, not that I’m looking to give Pachauri any cover here, but moquauvin is correct. It’s as ludicrous as accusing Joe Bast of being in some corporation’s pocket because they sponsored one of Heartland’s ICCC’s. I do not claim this tempest in a teapot otherwise suggests Pachauri is as pure as the driven snow, but you can’t hang him on this paltry evidence. Sorry.

Ahhh…. come on now. The money from the WWF was for research on his new book.
