An understatement if I ever heard one. The house of cards is collapsing.

India forms new climate change body - Telegraph

Quote:
The Indian government's move is a significant snub to both the IPCC and Dr Pachauri as he battles to defend his reputation following the revelation his most recent climate change report included false claims that most of the Himalayan glaciers would melt away by 2035. Scientists believe it could take more than 300 years for the glaciers to disappear.

“There is a fine line between climate science and climate evangelism. I am for climate science. I think people misused [the] IPCC report, [the] IPCC doesn’t do the original research which is one of the weaknesses … they just take published literature and then they derive assessments, so we had goof-ups on Amazon forest, glaciers, snow peaks.
The calls for Pachauri to step down are loud and clear. Even Greenpeace is calling for him to resign.

The railroad engineer (Pachauri) is seeing all those greenbacks slipping through his fingers.

Good for India. When politics enters science, nothing good ever comes out of it except for those that have ulterior motives "in the name of science".

But yet Barack Obama and Democrats embrace the "science" as if a few scragly emails don't poke holes in the story.

Which is par for the course: Democrats fell for the walking "story" that was Barack Obama in 2008, who by the way is now the walking "joke" of 2010.

I am amazed how shallow the liberal left has become. They literally believe anything that is thrown at them as long as it comes from a "scientist" or a "Harvard graduate." Personally i'd be embarrassed to be so shallow-minded.

At least the Indian people have a good steward of their best interests representing them.

I guess you haven't been paying attention to the news, not that you would find any of the breaking stories in the American MSM.

This has all the articles on the issue.
