Apparently, Pachauri’s troubles are all just due to an “unfortunate series of incidents”… and his resignation from the IPCC is just to give time to set the record straight.
Meanwhile, the world awaits the inevitable mug shot and the perp walk.

Here’s hoping the replacement is Prescott. He’s really capable of pissing off the German’s, French, and Canadians so that maybe the Paris conference could just implode
There seems to have been a large discrepancy between the modelling of Dr. Pachauri’s behaviour and the recorded observation.
A little homogenisation of the observed data should cure this.
But the other way round perhaps? With a hotter past and a cooler present?
Dammit Janet!
The Nations which are thus United must take a New Path.
Will we all sit and watch the same cabal install the next fool to continue stealing our freedoms and our funds while making a mockery of common decency?
I hope for a leader to speak truth to this rotten hoard and put them down as they have earned.
Many will follow.
Ha! Jimbo,
Bet you didn’t have a list on this one!!!!
He apparently needs serious help and I hope he gets it, I have no time for his type but I hate to see people go down for stupid reason like this. Like others before him, when you see yourself as the savior that’s when you lose your place in the world and can justify anything in your mind, no matter who you hurt.
Jawohl.
I know you all want enjoy the moment – any chance we can actually maintain some objectivity and decorum?

Let me think about that……….No !!
Somewhere sits a very sad Panda.
Apparently he didn’t disclose something he should hav……never mind. 😎
flashback:
David Suzuki & John Abbott College
http://nofrakkingconsensus.com/2013/02/03/david-suzuki-john-abbott-college/
The Scenario:
Let us us imagine that I, the author of a book, am invited to spend a day at a college attended by students as young as 17. Imagine that, a month before my arrival, I tell the school I’m not fond of bodyguards but that it would be OK if I were accompanied throughout the day by a couple of hand-picked students.
Imagine I then say I’d like these students to be male. Why? Because I’m female. I then go on to express definite opinions about what these young men should wear in my presence.
The Response That Didn’t Happen:
Surely there would be an adult in the room who’d realize that my interest in these students is both unprofessional and non-academic.
Surely everyone would notice that I am discriminating against all the young women in the school – and behaving as though young men are little more than pieces of meat.
Surely someone would say that I am free to ogle young males on my own time, but no self-respecting school would dream of supplying me with students for that purpose.
Analysis
Sexual predators come in all shapes, sizes, and ages. Sometime they are the last sort of people we’d expect – such as Catholic priests. Sometimes they are famous individuals who, to quote a UK report released last month, hide “in plain sight” and use “their celebrity status” to “gain access to vulnerable people” (see paragraph 3.7 here).
My point is that it is difficult to know who might, or might not, be a sexual predator. Many people who say sexually inappropriate things are totally harmless. Conversely, many sexual predators are no doubt careful to never say anything that might arouse suspicion.
But the fact of the matter is that letches exist. Sex abuse is real. And schools have a special responsibility to protect the young people in their care.
If a guest invited to a school is requesting the company of particular kinds of students, wearing particular kinds of clothing, everyone’s alarm bells should be ringing.
But when David Suzuki visited John Abbott College last October, no one appears to have objected to his request for, as a school official put it,
a couple of ladies (females) that would act as body guards…Why females, you ask? Well, he is a male.
Uhhh…John’s post is a bridge too far for me.
Yes, the visit setup appears less than professional, but nobody other than “John” appears to have made a claim (or implication, or insinuation, whatever) that Suzuki is a sexual predator.
Ad hominem attacks generally reek of desperation and deliberately distorted/mis-stated facts; this one does too. If there is some reason legitimate reason I should consider Suzuki to be a sexual predator, I clearly missed it.
While the CBC blasted those that broke this story, however, the CBC has had numerous issues of it’s own. I had served in LE for a period of time and had to keep my eye on an almost convicted child molester who got off on a technicality. The man still would show up at school bus stops and even a small school. I had to be careful not to do anything that would violated his rights but made it clear he was on my radar so he backed off.
He passed away from a stroke a few years later and isn’t missed by anyone. Predators do have similar characteristics and the Suzuki issue got my attention.

24 Feb: Guardian: Damian Carrington: IPCC chair Rajendra Pachauri resigns
Prof Nebojsa Nakicenovic, from Austria, South Korea’s Hoesung Lee and the German economist Prof Ottmar Edenhofer, who said in 2014 that “it doesn’t cost the world to save the planet”, are understood to be considering putting themselves forward.

It really is time for another Carrington event to remove the trash from the Planet.
[no. Do not wish harm onto others here. Put those wishes elsewhere, if you feel you want to express them at all. .mod]
Well, the temperature goes up tiddly up up. Then it goes down tee down down. Up. Down. Spinning around. Pachauri’s gotta a smile. The girls they got a frown. Up. Down. Rolling around. Pachauri thinks he’s a lover. But the girls know he’s a clown.
And so the author of the IPCC’s “Himalayan Glaciers Will Disappear in 30 years” is disposed.
Actually the UN has the REAL problem.
The problem. Third World Bureaucrats with delusions of being despots on a Global Stage once they secure a UN post, like the Mr. Bon Ki Moon, is the real problem with an organization like the UN.
Ergo, no one in a leadership position will be drawn from a Disposed Dictatorship or a Looser of World War II (Moon is a half-breed Korean-Japanese, and not an ethnic Korean). See something familiar ?
That is the way to reform the UN and with it the IPCC.

Feet of clay.
Feet of Clay. What a perfect expression. I had to look it up. It is from the Book of Daniel (2:31-40)
Just read this passage in reference to Pachauri… Ed, it is perfect!
31 Your Majesty looked, and there before you stood a large statue—an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. 32 The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. 34 While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.
Bravo Ed!
3 consecutive posts on patchygate? Schadenfreude much? I think you might be in danger of losing the moral high ground, especially around playing the person not the ball.
It looks like he is not going to escape answering to the law and his victims. Good.
If I want salacious speculation about the sex lives of z-listers I will read the tabloids and gossip mags.
To the AGW activists, it has always been about wealth redistribution, the green religion, and the personality cult. Lay on! He was a high priest of the green religion!
Who is next?
Those pesky hackers.
/extremely sarc
probably nothing will happen, he will join the likes of Gleick and Susuki and everyone will say how brave he is is. But there is one rule for warmists and another for skeptics. Look at the difference between the reporting of Soon and the reporting of Pachauri.
You should read his resignation letter where he calls protection of the Earth from climate change his religion. No, he really said that.
The claim is made the information was hacked in the hope of making it inadmissible in court. Logically now his ethial standards have been proven in one area the media will start looking at everything he has said and done more objectively.
Who would have thought that his racy novels were actually his autobiography?
Pachauri: 97% of climate scientists believe that women love me.
