Guest essay by Eric Worrall
h/t James Delingpole – Disgraced former head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Rajendra Pachauri has struck back at accusations he has been , with claims that he was set up by his opponents.
According to The Guardian;
Faced with prison, ruin and disgrace when his case comes before the Delhi courts next month, Pachauri has resigned from the IPCC and stepped back from Teri, the huge energy research institute that he founded and which has taken solar lighting to hundreds of millions of Indians. Meanwhile, his many enemies are revelling in his discomfort, his health has suffered and he has been subject to death threats and demonstrations by women’s groups.
His accuser, who cannot be named, is a science graduate. She says he besieged her with offensive messages, emails and texts in the 16 months she spent working with him. In February 2015, she gave police a cache of several thousand electronic messages as evidence.
She says she rejected Pachauri’s “carnal and perverted” advances. “On many occasions, Dr Pachauri forcibly grabbed my body, hugged me, held my hands, kissed me and touched my body in an inappropriate manner,” she told police.
…
Until now, Pachauri has said nothing about the case beyond denying all the charges, and claiming that his emails and computers had been hacked or misused. Now, however, in a series of emails with the Observer and in one meeting in London, he claims that his accuser was acting for money, and was probably set up to trap him by persons unknown.
He claims that she had access to all his five email accounts, and to his electronic files which included personal correspondence and many poems that he had written over the years.
“What is disturbing [is] that right from the first day over a period of about 16 months she was creating and assembling an archive of messages, which to anyone would seem very unusual. As far as I know, the emails, text messages etc that she collected were personal, semi-personal and only in a few cases official,” he says.
He claims it would have been easy for someone to have assumed his identity and sent messages seemingly from him to her, without his knowledge.
In my opinion Pachauri’s defence is implausible. Quite apart from the confused nature of Pachauri’s claim, in which he appears to suggest he was entrapped and hacked at the same time (so which perverted messages were sent by Pachauri, as part of the “entrapment” process, and which messages were sent by hackers?), it simply seems implausible that the alleged victim received perverted sexual messages over a period of 16 months, without mentioning it to someone.
If you received suggestive, perverted messages from a friend or colleague, messages which seemed completely out of character, surely the first thing you would do is tell your friend or colleague that something was wrong. At the very least you would ask them to stop, or if it seemed utterly implausible that they were sending such messages, you would tell them their account had been hacked.
If your polite request to stop making lewd suggestions was rebuffed, and you were worried about your job and reputation, then the obvious next step would be to collect evidence that you were the victim of sexual harassment – especially if the perpetrator was an authority figure. So in my view there is nothing odd about the fact that the alleged victim has a large record of messages received from Pachauri, which she submitted to the police, when her alleged situation finally became unbearable.
This is not the first time Climate Alarmists have attempted to deflect criticism of their conduct with wild conspiracy theories. Perhaps conspiracist ideation is what climate alarmists do, when they are caught with their pants down, metaphorically or otherwise, when there is no reasonable defence for their actions.
If you have any lingering doubts about who the victim in this case is, consider the credibility destroying gaffs Pachauri has made over the years, such as his ridiculous melting Himalayan glacier claim. Pachauri was far more valuable to skeptics as the bungling Chairman of the IPCC, than he will be as a forgotten nobody. His entertaining IPCC clown show will be missed.

Psychological climatism: Poe’s law in action?
I don’t even know if climatenuremberg is a real blog or The Onion of the warmists. Anyway it’s pretty crazy.
Oh Brad is real alright, just very few can recognize written satire anymore.
He does Patchy up rather nicely as you noted.
The “I was framed”
“Look what you made me do”, defence is a natural for most serial liars .
The “Science Communicators” of Team IPCC ™ resort to projecting their sins upon any who question them as a matter of course.
I miss the surreal insanity of The Shaggy One as head of the IPCC, right now I cannot even remember the name of whoever replaced him.
I prefer to think Patchy was “railroaded.”
Unbelievable, bastions from the climate change faction of Political Correctness abandon their purported politically correct views to support one of their troughers of the public purse.
Even Bob Dylan is getting behind Pachauri.
Krudd
It is interesting that defense of Mr P is that someone fiddled the system to set up the outcome they wanted, despite the true facts of the matter.
It sounds a heck of a lot like the CO2 alarmist crowd when they go temperature-mapping or sea level-measuring. The Schadenfreude business will set upon this classic case of irony with glee.
Mr P is claiming that she is faking the message of alarm! You just can’t make this stuff up.
“Even Bob Dylan is getting behind Pachauri.”
Huh?
Greg Laden was also a defender of Greitz (sp?) If I recall correctly. The warmists take care of their own.
“Greg Laden was also a defender of Greitz”
You can make Greitz a symbol in the universe of climatists, then use the rule of generalization (introduction rule of ∀), and you get:
∀ x, climatist(x) => (Greg Laden is a defender of x)
I remember when Pachauri stated that the material in IPCC AR’s were all peer-reviewed. The IPCC has since admitted and allows grey material. Science at its best.
As a sexy, sexual woman with one foot in the scientific world myself, ORESKY???? . When I read that I just about pee’d myself, “One foot in the scientific world”? Bot oh boy I doubt she has a dead toe nail in the “scientific” world.
“As a sexy, sexual woman with one foot in the scientific world myself, ORESKY????”
Yes! And she even gets statistics, well from a parallel universe:

Poe’s law strikes, again.

Also: Brock’s Law. Warmists will self-parodiy if given enough time.
Parody, dammit.
yeah..spilt my coffee, anything LESS sexy im pressed to find..mrs O maybe?
in science by a foot?
my foot would be on her butt pushing her OUT that door.
The “sexy” part is equally eye-brow raising.
bot, I had the same reaction.
Naomi is sexy in an Anthony Weiner kind of way. I wonder if they’re related?
I will shamelessly steal a few choice quotes from simple-touriste above.

Speechless. I think I best let it go without comment anyway.

Wow. I have no doubts that sex was never involved. Just look at that visage.
She complained about what happened in the dark mines beneath Western Australia. That’s where she learned “what men do with their hands when they can’t see you”

If they had seen this
the men would be yearning for a kangaroo or even a duck billed platypus !!

I am SPEECHLESS.
Really…
You couldn’t make this up. She lectures in LOGIC.
The same death threats, the same beatings…
So obviously all these accusations against mafia hitmen are phony!
Have a care, what is attributed to the Lovely lady of the Cult ,may not be her words.
However the mocking is very well done.
yes and maybe these claims are not her either:
– p<0.05 proves causation
– not finding a statistically significant effect during stat analysis when such physical effect exists is a "type II error"
– p<0.05 means you have less than 5% chance of being wrong
– 4Be is a heavy metal (she probably says that because it’s toxic)
– reactive oxygen species are the same thing as radioactive isotopes of oxygen
– the many different regulatory acceptable industrial radiation doses (not counting natural or medical exposure) are based on the assumption that low doses are harmless below the level defined by the regulation
…
(too many ridiculous claims to list)
“4Be is a heavy metal”
I meant Be-9.

And yes, isolated errors can happen, and one error could be waved away. There are just too much errors in her book.

I first looked at her picture and thought it was a man (and not a handsome one at that ) and then noticed the name!
dean….thanx for the great laffer at 11:35 PM
OMG OMG OMG
The more I google Naomi and Pachauri, the sicker I get.
I don’t think I am easily impressed (I can handle many discourses), but I think it may be too much “feminist”(*) for me.
Does WUWT sell vomit bags?
(*) the new sort of “feminism”, “progressive” (in the modern sense, ie regressive and fascinated by primitivism) and “liberal” (in the modern sense, ie illiberal) and accusing victims

Pirated emails? (for one year?) Then what, pirated hands?
Do you think Pachauri is preparing the “I’m crazy and not responsible” defense?
’cause that’s what it looks like!
The “no other options” defense.
What about pirated (hockey) stick?
In a famous sex-related trial in the UK some years back, a powerful man (Lord Astor) attempted to browbeat a powerless female victim.
Astor’s counsel: “Don’t you know that Lord Astor has denied your allegation?”
Young lady: “Well (giggle) he would, wouldn’t he?”
Ah yes, the lovely Mandy Rice-Davies making the most of her minor role in the Profumo scandal. It was her famous response to counsel in Stephen Ward’s trial. I miss the 60s.
‘Ward, as it transpired, committed suicide before sentence was passed, but the real star of the show was Mandy Rice-Davies. Her pert reply to counsel when told that another participant in the drama, Lord Astor, had denied having slept with her — “Well, he would say that, wouldn’t he?” — entered the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations and has been much plagiarised ever since.’
From her obituary in The Telegraph;
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/11303169/Mandy-Rice-Davies-obituary.html
So, let me get this right, Pachauri claims he’s been railroaded?
Good one.
Pachauri claims she has faked all the data that points to him and that the faked data is promoting unjustified alarm in the minds of the police and public.
It’s always the women’s fault 97 percent of the time , looks like this is one of the Bill Cosby times though.
Neofeminism =
97 % of men are pigs and possible predators
+
97 % women who accuse the good men (who fight to the Cause) must wear push-ups and are probably sugar babes anyway and potential predators for old emotionally weak men
I get it now!
Pachauri must have been victim of some emo-abuser. It’s clear that he was in the weak position of being the president of the institute, with the additional weakness of seniority!
It’s clear now that Pachauri must demand compensation for the trauma for having to work with pretty ladies who can hack POP or IMAP servers as well as men’s body parts!
“Push-up culture” must have replaced “rape culture”.
I can muster little sympathy for Pachauri, and I wouldn’t waste time commenting on his behavior. I don’t think the Guardian ought to be allowed to get away with this, though:
…Teri, the huge energy research institute that he founded and which has taken solar lighting to hundreds of millions of Indians.
I’ve told them a hundred thousand times not to exaggerate.
…Teri, the huge energy research institute that he founded and which has taken hundreds of millions of ruppees from Indians for solar lighting .
There fixed that for you.
Well put
A window (or even a hole) in a roof can be considered “solar lighting” and I wouldn’t put it past the language abusers at The Guardian to make ridiculous claims based only on political goals and pedantry.
Isn’t the population of India somewhere around 700 million?
Assuming a low of 200 million from (hundreds of millions) that would mean that this company has brought solar lighting to at least a third of all Indians. Probably much more.
PS: China doesn’t make enough solar cells to provide solar light for hundreds of millions of Indians.
Those lanterns allowed the rural population to illuminate their poverty at night.
To say something really nasty, after reading Ms. Oreskes’ eruption I can very well understand that Pachauri has not tried anything with her during their 8 blissful years of asexual comradery. Her totally unsubstantiated assumptions of how Pachauri’s victim pushes her breasts here or there are absolutely unworthy of a University Professor.
True. It’s seems that all good sense is abandoned when it comes to defending anything CAGW related.
OMG.
Un…[insert swearword of your choice here]…believable!!!
I believe Pachauri was set up. Set up by his own ego that is. He convinced himself he could get away with anything because he was too important to be held accountable. He probably did get away with so much for so long that he believed he was untouchable.
When Hilary Clinton draws up her cabinet , the men of course will disappear , so Holdren will go and there will be a vacancy for a Presidential Science advisor . My guess is that it will be dear Naomi , but given her undeniable sexiness and sensuality it might be advisable that she steers clear of the First Gentleman.
Yeah, sexiness AND brains. Who could resist? Pass me that box of cigars.
Well, Pachauri and Oreskes do make an attractive couple…
Neither of them needs a scary Halloween costume.

Terrible thing.

Has anyone else noticed that the author claims—
1/. that if anyone was receiving perverted emails they would immediately tell someone else.
2/. that if anyone was receiving perverted emails the first thing they would do is collect 16 months worth without telling anyone…
This sounds more like warmist doublethink…
Unworthy of wuwt
“I was set up”
What the heck else would you expect him to claim?
My long departed daddy once advised me on relationships when I was a young teen. He said that when caught naked in bed with another woman by your wife (or girlfriend) you jump up in the middle of the bed and proclaim, “HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE ME OF SUCH A FOUL DEED!”
I think he was kidding, but one never knows. After all, I have heard a lot of stuff in my lifetime that translates into: “are you going to believe me or your own lying eyes?”
Eddie Murphy covered this in ‘RAW’ – ‘Hey… wasn’t me.’
It’s amazing how often, and in how many situations that simple line of BS works… always assuming that the sucker wants to be convinced – that’s an important precedent.
“… there’s absolutely nothing funny about sexual harassment for its victims. It’s a deeply distressing experience and should be recognised and condemned for what it is – predatory sexual behaviour which should be prosecuted with the same rigour as any other crime against the person.”

Absolutely agree. If Pachauri is guilty, as I believe seems likely, he deserves everything which is coming to him.
Here Here.
As for the why didn’t the victim say something sooner I agree with you that following your suggested response makes sense to see if someone is using their email etc.
I had an email from a friend telling me how they were in floods of tears at an airport in some far off land having had all their money and passports stolen, my first response was to call their land line and ask if all was well when told yes I asked them if they had a good flight back to which they were nonplussed till I told them of the email. When I saw them a couple of days later they told me their email supplier had sorted it all very quickly.
Old Patchy might have done better with Bart’s defence.
James Bull
I agree completely. But we can continue to ridicule Pachauri while the case makes it’s way through the court system.
Well, they did tell him the work involved studying models…..
Ah yes. The bitch set me up defense.
