Hall of Record: Pachauri Only Part Of The Problem
...this effort was a United Nations political effort that simply made use of scientific claims to achieve political ends.

The real headlines ought to be focused on disbanding the IPCC altogether as a fraudulent organization and return climate science back to the world of scientists and science. The whole IPCC effort has caused legitimate scientists to abandon scientific principles for the sake of personal notoriety and government money thereby leading to the East Anglia subversion of science.
