Dr. Rajendra Pachauri is huge in Scandinavia. First, he shared Norway’s Nobel Peace Prize with his IPCC colleagues and Al Gore, and now he has been made a Commander of the Order of the White Rose of Finland, “for his decade’s long, dedicated work in promoting international co-operation on climate change and sustainable development.” Could the Swedish Order of the Polar Star be next?
Perhaps now would be a good time for someone to point that Pachauri’s magnum opus, the IPCC’s 2007 assessment, has been shot through with holes, and that Pachauri himself presides over a multi-national climate-profiteering empire. Wouldn’t you know it! I have written an article to that effect right here.
