Chairman of the United Nations' IPCC, Rajendra K. Pachauri a scientist from India, is being pressured to resign his position because he is accused of putting advocacy in front of the scientific method. His lack of scientific protocol has led to a loss of face for the global warming moonbat committee. The UN's latest report on climate change was mistaken when it said the Himalayan glaciers were melting, it was wrong when it said other mountain ranges were losing their snow tops, and it was wrong when it claimed that global warming was damaging the rain forests. They didn't even get their data from scientific studies, but used anecdotal information from advocacy groups such as the WWF and from mountain climbing magazines.
Financial Times published an interview with Pachauri today, and judging by his responses the guy is buckling under the strain, he blames some unnamed conspiracy perpetuated people who still think that smoking isn't harmful instead of "owning up" to his mistakes.

Ha! Well he’s experiencing a bit of personal global warming!
>> Rajendra K. Pachauri a scientist from India <<
It’s not accurate to call him a scientist. His M.A. and Ph.D. degrees are in industrial engineering.
“smoking isn’t harmful”
Interesting choice of words. The same tactics used by the anti smoker, second hand smoke causes cancer hoax, were used to advance the global warming hoax. The studies about the effects of second hand smoke are dubious.
Not too mention, the death rates attributable to smoking have not declined. One day soon, people will realize, quitting smoking had no effect.

An M.A. in engineering? Is that a typo?
Oh? An engineer can’t be a scientist as well? LOL!
IIRC, the majority of his private sector work was designing the railroad line in the South of India.
FT calling him a scientist was a “gentleman’s courtesy”.
Actually, your statement on its face is not correct. A lot of Engineers are those who apply scientific fundamentals and principals to the real world; we don't just deal in the theoretical. So your argument holds no weight with me. Better to criticize his lack of proper application of those principals than to attack the Engineering profession.
I'm an Engineer, and as far as I'm concerned, the whole AGW movement has no basis on any sound scientific evidence. So, am I unqualified to make that statement because I'm an Engineer? I think not.
True. But I didn’t mean that he is a scientist. I just meant that there is no particular club that makes you a scientist. Plenty of engineers are good scientists as well. Plenty of PHded physcists are bad scientists.

Sure, he CAN be. But this guy isn’t.
