Today on the homepage I have an article on the IPCC’s Dr. Rajendra Pachauri:

On February 18, Yvo de Boer announced that come July, he will vacate his post as the United Nations’s top man on climate change in favor of a consultancy at the accounting firm KPMG. He will leave behind a U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change that is beleaguered and besieged — the convention is reeling from its failure to reach a consensus on emissions policy in Copenhagen last December and witnessing the crackup of the scientific “consensus” on global warming.
But even as the pressure appears to have gotten to de Boer — who once left a Bali climate-conference work session in tears — a kind of blithe defiance seems to have set in with his most (in)famous deputy, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) chief Dr. Rajendra K. Pachauri.

Why is Pachauri so undaunted? Well, it may be that he’s a true believer (indeed, he has said he wants to create an “evangelic fervor” about climate change). Or maybe he’s a profiteer (he receives millions every year to “consult” a number of major corporations on climate change policy).
