Rajendra Pachauri, the controversial Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is to face an international inquiry into the performance of his organisation.
Environment and Climate ministers meeting in closed session in Bali last night insisted that an independent review should be carried out following the publicising of mistakes in its last report, and a row surrounding Dr Pachauri’s robust response to his critics. If his management is found to be at fault his position could become untenable.
Participants in the unprecedented meeting – held at the annual assembly of the Governing Council of the United Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP) Governing Council in Bali – were sworn to secrecy over the decision and it is only expected to be announced after its detaled scope and composition have been worked out by UNEP and the World Meteorological Organisation, the two UN agencies that oversee the IPCC’s work.

Notes:
“Ok…Ok” (Jock McBile mode) — “Why not pull the Al Gore movie in our schools and show this one? Could it be that the ‘little guy from Tennessee‘ got it all wrong? Could it be that Al Gore looks like the driver of the getaway car?”
Laughing.
To be clear…..It was not “mistakes” that were in the report. They were deliberate attempts to create alarmism. They were fraud….pure and simple.
Only an international inquiry? Why not a criminal court?
And who led the Fraud parade pray tell??? Why Big AL no less, followed closely by a lengthy list of apostles.
I still think that Gore and the rest should be arrested and tried! SuziQ as well. But Al Gore to start with. He made the film – He went on the World Tour – He won/stole the Nobel prize. Gore first. And then the also-rans. This was criminal.
