Out on bail, IPCC's Pachauri's downward spiral continues: Resignation from the Indian Climate Council

Pachauri’s withdrawal from public life continues

pachuri-mugStory submitted by Eric Worrall

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has today accepted Rajendra Pachauri’s resignation from the Prime Minister’s climate change council.

According to the Indian Express;

“R K Pachauri, who has been accused of sexual harassment, has resigned from the Prime Minister’s Council on Climate Change as well, a government statement today said.

“The Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has accepted the resignation of R K Pachauri from the Prime Minister’s Council on Climate Change,” said the one line statement.

The Council decides on broad policy guidelines on climate change, and is headed by the Prime Minister.”

The BBC reports that an Indian court has granted Pachauri bail, while police investigate claims of sexual harassment against the beleaguered former head of the IPCC.

“An Indian court has granted interim bail to former UN climate change panel head Rajendra Pachauri, who is facing charges of sexual harassment.

The court order bans him from leaving India or entering his office while police investigate the allegations.

A female researcher has accused him of sending her inappropriate calls, emails and texts and physically molesting her.

Mr Pachauri, who resigned from his post on Tuesday, denies the accusations. He is currently in hospital.

His lawyers say he is receiving treatment for a heart condition.”

We obviously wish Pachauri a speedy recovery from his heart condition. Perhaps a withdrawal from public life is for the best, the last few years, as head of the IPCC, have obviously been very difficult for Pachauri. Once the police investigation and court case is over, Pachauri may have the personal space he needs, to pursue other interests, such as his interest in writing pornographic fiction.

If he has a heart condition I’m sure a friendly physician could be found who could state he’s an arteriopath with frontal lobe involvement and so completely innocent of all charges laid…..
Well it helped Ernest Saunders anyway……
He made a full (post-release) recovery too……Well done that man….

If only all this was the consequences of incompetence/dishonesty regarding the CAGW meme.
Maybe it is but “they” want to keep the machinery in place? Be able to switch to CAGCooling without changing the “controls”?

If Patchy had focused more on albedo and less on his own libido he probably would have survived… Poor guy must be radiating a lot of heat now.

Thank you. As I said earlier, if those emails are genuine (and they will be easily verified or otherwise) they will expose the doctor as not only a creep but a disingenuous liar,

Yet to see a high-profile “green” who wasn’t corrupt, or a perv, or both.
Good riddance!!

Gotta’ get away from here as fast as I can
Legal days are growin’, I’m blowin’ this home
My assistant just sent me a summons

To steel bars once-a more
Anyway, yeah!

When you look at the long list of Mr. Pachauri’s disingenuities and evasions, you might be inclined to ask why one more (alleged) example of sleaziness would make any difference. Still, all those other economies with the truth were in a noble cause: saving the planet from capitalism. It’s difficult to claim that sexting might play any role in sustainable development. Sexual harassment also has a bit of a bad name at the moment, what with Bill Cosby and Jian Gomeshi. It has a particularly bad name in India, where it is epidemic.

The word I keep hearing about Pachauri (his romantic novel probably didn’t help his image) is pervert.

I have no time whatever for Pachauri, but writing ‘romance novels’ is far, far less of a crime than turning the other cheek to wars murdering 1 million plus people based on fictitious intelligence made up by the CIA on the orders of Vice President Dick Cheney and his mates.
I am sure that Mr Watts and all his close colleagues at WUWT will not plead guilty to that far greater crime and that, if they do, they will withdraw from all forms of public debate until God relieves themselves of their duties on this earth……
They have no place on this earth if they are incapable of such basic humanity………much less being self-righteous moralists.

‘I am sure that Mr Watts and all his close colleagues at WUWT will not plead guilty to that far greater crime’
Because they are in no way guilty of such a crime nor is anyone but a fool saying they are.
Meanwhile when did you stop beating your partner ?

Pachauri writing “pornographic fiction” reminds me of the story of the great Fred Hoyle, Cambridge astrophysicist of the mid-twentieth century, who wrote a novel “Andromeda”. Not bad actually, but it was rumoured that the the more saucy scenes were ghost-written by his son.
Which begs the question: does Pachauri have a son?

Lets not forget the alleged “sex crazed poodle” Al Gore. Even though that situation was more likely a misunderstanding. Gore ordered a late night $250 an hour “massage” expecting a hooker and much to his dismay got a masseuse.
Gores need for hookers is irrelevant to Climate Science but along with Patchy it does beg the question, are 97% of Greens “sex crazed poodles”?

In some countries sexual harassment is not a crime – it is a religious mandate. Maybe he just forgot where he was.

Thinking out of the box as a recon person might.
Now that his gold mine has played out may be he has some need for cash flow.
Someone with enough cash and stealth might be able to pay him for any and all documents he has on the scam and who, what when and where.
He for sure has the evidence needed to throw it all down the drain.
He has been thrown to the wolfs so put on a wolf coat and “pay” him a visit.

Or, help him get a tell all book published. Front the money for him to do that little thing.

I dunno – am I the only one who’s noticed the resemblance between Pachauri and unibomber Ted Kaczynski?
Anybody ever seem both of ’em in the room at the same time?

“Pachauri may have the personal space he needs, to pursue other interests, such as his interest in writing pornographic fiction.”
40 shades of Pachauri? I wonder if his great interest in porn has lead to his “heart condition”? In his case though facts could be more interesting than fiction.

Perhaps he can’t get a woman in any other way than by bullying or coercion. But then again, if you were a woman would you fall for: “97% of me wants to hump you, only 3% is holding me back to show my good intentions”?

With this guys alleged reputation he would be easy to set up . The IPCC must be overjoyed .
So who is going to pay off the problem ?
