Peter Foster: Green revolution set to follow red

Mr. Steiner was quick to leap to his colleagues' defence in the case of Climategate. Mere doubts about the scientific facts were no excuse to slow down the agenda, he said. Questions about IPCC head Rajendra Pachauri amounted to a "witch hunt." Glaciergate was a "typographical error." The notion that the IPCC was "sensationalist" was, he claimed, "risible… Indeed, caution rather than sensation has been the panel's watchword throughout its existence."
