Global warming "expert" calls on California to do more to cut greenhouse gas emissions - Los Angeles Times
And what would global warming be without slides and charts? Pachauri leavened his PowerPoint road show with humor, anecdotes and even a quote from Chief Seattle as he urged Californians to turn off unnecessary lights, take shorter showers and eat less meat -- personal behavior changes that would reduce their carbon footprint.It's appropriate that the man in charge of the IPCC fraud closed with a quote that snopes.com says is "not even remotely authentic".

It was a high-carbon trip for Pachauri. He had flown from New York, where he spoke at a luncheon held by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg.

Pachauri concluded his presentations with an 1854 quote from Chief Seattle: "Man did not weave the web of life. He is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself."
