UN Climate Chief Scrambling to Save His Job

The ClimateGate fallout continues:

The outspoken chairman of the U.N.’s climate change body is to adopt a neutral advisory role and has agreed to stop making statements demanding new taxes and other radical policies on cutting emissions.

In an interview with the Times of London, Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, apologized for his organization’s handling of complaints about errors in its report.

He also apologized for describing as “voodoo science” an Indian Government report which challenged the IPCC’s claims about the rapid melting of Himalayan glaciers.

But Dr Pachauri, 70, rejected calls for his resignation and insisted he would remain as chairman until after publication of the IPCC’s next report in 2014.

He claimed he had the support of all the world’s governments and denied that, by remaining in post, he was undermining the IPCC’s chances of regaining credibility with the public.

“It is not correct to say there are people who don’t trust me,” he said.

Actually, it's not correct to say it's not correct. Pachauri is a global warming religionist of the first order and has been a major driving force trying to put the UN in position to control our lives via taxation and restrictions on carbon output. He needs to go, though he might actually be more valuable in defeating the global warming crown by staying in a high profile position where his idiocy can be easily seen.
