IPCC's credibility has increased: Pachauri - India - The Times of India

NEW DELHI: The climate is changing on climate change. And IPCC chief R K Pachauri is feeling the heat. The latest dent to claims that the
Himalayan glaciers will melt by 2035 has clearly ruffled the climate man.

But while his credibility and that of the IPCC has taken a battering, Pachauri maintains his chutzpah in the face of growing skepticism, arguing that his acceptance that the research on glaciers had been dodgy had actually somehow enhanced the credibility of the body.

Pachauri also seems to have an awful lot of jobs. He already has a full-time job as director general of the Indian Energy and Resources Institute, which seems to benefit from UK government funding. He is also an adviser to Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank and the Chicago Climate Exchange — all of which stand to benefit from carbon trading. His predecessors, Bert Bolin, a Swedish scientist, and Bob Watson, now chief scientist at Defra, were part-time, but they put enormous effort into the job. How much time is Pachauri putting in? It doesn’t appear to be a lot.

If we are to have the best possible predictions about climate change, urgent decisions need to be taken. The agreeable but gaffe-prone Pachauri should accept it would be wise to walk now, so some heavy-hitters can step in and prevent a disastrous slide in the IPCC’s credibility. The sooner, the better.

Steve Janke: Copenhagen goes from failure to farce. (Or maybe it's the other way around) - Full Comment

Clearly no one important is taking global warming seriously anymore. They pay lip service to it, but they know it's a crock. Deadlines that were so important so that we could avoid "climate catastrophe" are now ignored as public opinion shifts and the credibility of the so-called scientists crumbles. I think it's well past time to just forget the whole thing.

Here's my suggestion. It's a message to deliver to global warmists everywhere. If you promise to shut the hell up, you global warming alarmists who have made obscene amounts of money by concocting this whole global warming fraud, we promise not to come after you for the money you've stolen. Let's be frank here. You scammed us good. Maybe you deserve to keep the money. It'll be a lesson for the rest of us (not me, of course, since I never fell for this garbage) about not leaving our common sense at home.
