‘Pachauri would be a fool to resign’- Hindustan Times

Stressing that the glacier mistake was the only one in the 3,000-page report, de Boer said climate science, given its uncertainties and complexities, needs to be constantly questioned to make it more robust.

Climate of Davos despair | The Australian

THE ruins of global financial capitalism on display at the World Economic Forum included . . . the dashing of hopes for a deal to save the planet from global warming.
...the irony is that the political momentum for a global climate change deal peaked just as Wall Street investment bank Lehman Brothers went bust in September 2008.

"This may invalidate all claims that the last decades were the hottest ever," Mr De Mos said.
