Pachauri feels the heat | CLIMATEGATE
In today’s Guaradian, IPCC head Rajendra Pachauri cries foul over the “well-known fact that powerful vested interests and those opposed to action on climate change are working overtime to see that they can stall action for as long as possible.” Good thing there are no powerful vested interest groups on the AGW side.

Over at Comment is Free. I think that critical comments may may be severely curtailed. I've posted a simple link to EUReferendum's Pachauri category. It will be interesting to see if it gets through.

[Update: Currently no comments seem to be getting through at all. This is turning into a habit on global warming threads at CiF]
