Telegraph: Climate change chief, Rajendra Pachauri, pledges neutrality
An excerpt:
Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, apologised for the way his organisation handled complaints about mistakes in its report, and for criticising an opposing piece of research as โvoodoo scienceโ.
But he also accused politicians and prominent critics of โa new form of persecutionโ against scientists who support the conept of global warming.
It had been incorrect to give the impression, in media interviews, that he was advocating specific actions such as green taxes to combat climate change.
โI will try to clarify that Iโm not prescribing anything as a solution,โ he said.
โMaybe I should be more careful (in media interviews) in laying down certain riders. One learns from that and Iโm learning.โ
