Improving Global Equality Could Reduce the Effects of Climate Change

Heads should roll at the UN over climate panel’s disgrace

So there can be absolutely no doubt that, for several years, the Secretary General has been aware of serious problems inside the IPCC. Yet Mr. Ban continued to promote its conclusions as if they were beyond dispute. It was not until unrelenting media coverage of the various ‘gates’ – Climategate, Glaciergate, Amazongate, Kiwigate, etc. - that the UN Chief finally ordered an inquiry.

Members of the United Nations must launch their own investigation into why Mr. Ban and others at the top of the UN let these problems fester for so many years. If they don’t have some very good explanations to offer, then heads should roll.
