Pachauri tries again

From this article:
BRUSSELS (AFP) — The head of the UN intergovernment climate change body on Wednesday voiced strong concern at the accelerated melting of the polar ice caps, calling for international tariffs on carbon emissions.

"Now there's enough evidence to show that there is accelerated melting of some of these large bodies of ice; west Antarctic ice-sheet, the Greenland ice-sheet," Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), told reporters at the European Parliament in Brussels.
Some background on Pachauri is here.

Note again that Pachauri is publicly advocating for his pet policies, even though the formal mandate of the IPCC is to be "policy neutral."
