As more allegations come forward from other women, it looks as if the railway engineer turned fake Nobel Laureate is about to have a train wreck far beyond his resignation from the IPCC. Nonplussed, the IPCC goes into bunker mode and treats Patchy’s pants issue as if it didn’t exist at all. Even some veteran climate reporters who have reported on the IPCC in the past are now raising eyebrows:
The press release is here: http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/ar5/P41_acting_chair.pdf
Good luck with the Streisand Effect, chumps.
Patchy’s resignation letter is a real hoot: http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/ar5/150224_Patchy_letter.pdf
Donna LaFramboise writes of it:
Today, he finally exited the stage. In true Pachauri fashion, his resignation letter is a two-page love letter to himself. You wouldn’t know that recent allegations of sexual assault, stalking, harassment, and uttering threats suggest strongly that he is a longtime sexual predator.
Meanwhile, the world awaits the inevitable mug shot and the perp walk.
More than just temperatures rising it would seem…
Pachauri cannot be allowed to disown his hockeystick. Stick it to the Mann folks – you know they’d do the same to a well known sceptic.
These sex crazed poodles will do it every time.
Yeah but this is the first time they’ve been dishonest. S^2
I thought the IPCC was transparent. Even Pachauri’s organisation Terri says something on the issue of a complaint about Pachauri.
Perhaps he was railroaded out?
You get a +1 for that!
He got thrown off the gravy train.
Pachauri will be remembered as the veritable conductor of the climate gravy train!
Is anyone surprised? The IPCC has been hidding things and denying truths for decades.
Like the BBC and Savile, there will be the statements that no one at the IPCC knew about his behaviour.
Railroad engineer causes train wreck… oh-oh…
well for once it looks like it really is ‘worse then we thought ‘
It’s worse than you think. Here is Pachauri talking about how to treat other people. He warns us not to treat our fellow human beings as cattle.
I was about to write that some of the comments are a bit too harsh for someone that has yet to face the courts but his own comments suggest that I shouldn’t feel sorry for him.
“UTI” is Urinary Tract Infection? No mention of dementia. At least he didn’t plead sex addiction and go into celebrity rehab.
As one commenter observed:
I am unfamiliar with Indian law, but in general such charges are known as Sexual Harassment of Employee Allegations, and go by the acronym “SHEA”. There are of course different levels or gradations to such allegations, which can be quite numerous and difficult to remember.
Reportedly Pachauri is negotiating a deal with the court to avoid a trial. It would involve appearing in a public service campaign to warn people about the intricacies of Indian sexual harassment law (among other things reminding them that “harass” is one word rather than two). The campaign is tentatively titled “50 Grades of SHEA”.
Well played, Mr. Watt.
Cardiac issues! I thought his vegetarian diet was best. He did tell us in 2008 to eat less meateat less meat in order to save the planet from overheating.
Jimbo: I think “cardiac issues” is a typo or misprint. What counsel meant to say is the Pachauri has “Cadillac issues” which is a well recognized allergy to anything less than first class accommodations. Fellow sufferers include Al Gore, Leonardo DiCaprio and of course the entire US First Family.
It looks like India’s ‘penal code’ is hardening against this sort of thing (no pun intended).
Matters could reach a catastrophic boiling point if current trends continue.
UTI: I thought it was Unitary Testicular Indexation – like a certain house-painter in the 30s, he’s only got one b…. Which is probably one more than Mann.
Are, perhaps, the IPCC senior staff, and/or the UN’s executive staff, also complicit in what must be a multi-decade cover up, and discarding or discounting, of complaints from many other women?
While it appears they were fast and efficient in dealing with this one complaint, it was surely the straw the broke the camel’s back.
I found this quote from his resignation letter interesting.
So he admits that it is a religion?
Also does he really mean “all species”? Tapeworms? Viruses?
“Also does he really mean “all species”? Tapeworms? Viruses?”
Yes , It’s out of professional courtesy for other career parasites
+100
+1000!
With better timing he could have paid off all his accusers with carbon tax money and redistribution of wealth proceeds.
I wonder if this will peter out.
Hey, watch it.
Perhaps it wasn’t a hack after all. Quelle surprise …

Thanks Pointman for the belly laughs.
I’m Going with “dirty old man”. Seems like a no brainer to me.
The mysterious hacking is known as the Craig Thomson defence in Australia.
Oh – suddenly he is ill….
How convenient..!
I wonder if we’ll be seeing an investigative report in the New York times or Nature magazine examining whether Pachauri “properly disclosed” that he is a sex maniac when he was appointed to the job.
Come to think of it, UN application forms probably lack that checkbox.
TFB?? Sounds like an enforcement arm of the IPCC. \sarc maybe GK
Laughable fraud. He won’t be missed.
The fact that this Indian woman is making these allegations against a relatively rich and famous man is quite something. Furthermore he has not accused her of making stuff up. I wonder whether he will claim someone hacked his hands! There is a handwritten note apparently.
Looks like the new boss is even more unqualified than Paruchi, if that’s possible

“This vice-chairman representing Africa is famous for this December 2013 YouTube video hit. It seems to be the only publicly available web page about this Gentleman and when I was embedding it into this blog post, it had 8 views (and 2 of them counted the electronic devices of your humble correspondent). Quite a rock star!
In this video, he shows how excellent thinker, leader, speaker, and manager he is. “My name is Ismail El Gizouli and I come from Soudan. I joined the Working Group 3 in 2002. And I was elected again in two thousand sevyn. I like the IPC. The IPC is very good. The IPC has won a Nobel prize with Al Gore. It is a good achievement. I want to look to the climate change issue. And to specific issues.””
I like the IPC. The IPC is very good.
True it good for his pay book and you be amazed what you can get away with as an official of the UN , start with never paying a parking ticket fine and work your way upwards.
UN appointments are often done on the basis of ‘which countries turn is it now ‘ ability has little to do with it .
That quote is Dick-and-Jane-worthy.
ooooh I was going to go look him up
thanks for beating me to it
well , seems hes probably OVERqualified for the job:-)
Good find dccowboy. So the IPCC has declined to be led by a serial groper, but is now led by the representative of a country which permits routine full clitorectomy on its women. You couldn’t make it up.
I had my doubts about Pachauri’s attitude to women when he published that risible ‘erotic novel’ a few years ago.
The missing heat!
Two peas in a pod:

Is that like two cheeks of the same arse?
Ismail El Gizouli but you can
“Call me Ismail.”
No doubt the quest for the great beast will continue as before.
Rick – that would be Moby Dick…. Gotcha…I see where you’re going with that,
Pointman.
I like your commentary – very amusing and droll, and with a serious note at the end. However, given the 2nd syllable of your nom du plume, suggesting male gender, I was surprised by your phrase “ladies of the opposite sex”. Can you get ladies of the same sex?
In 2015 you ask that??
Ha!
You need to watch “Allo Allo” to find out all you need to know about “ladies of the opposite sex”

“Is that a hockey stick in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?”
Excellent.
Does anybody else think it is strange that those who hold themselves up in public as having the highest principles are so often those with the lowest, basest morals?
