I think this is now getting very serious for some of these clowns....

UPDATE: links to new information posted at the bottom of this article, including a new story from the Times
UPDATE2: Jonathan Leakes story at the Time is Online, linking Paucharis TERI organization to government funding grants that were solicited using the bogus Himalayan glaciers will disappear by 2035″ claim.
Christopher Booker of the Telegraph has a story that shows Pachauris own employee at TERI was the source of the bogus glacier claim. Now the corruption comes full circle.
UPDATE3: Pachauri now bizarrely claims in a press interview that the IPCCs credibility has been strengthened.
IMHO, Dr. Pachauri is toast. He has nowhere to go except out.

Weve covered some of the travails of IPCC Chairman Dr. Rajenda Pachauri here at WUWT in the past couple of weeks. Besides the facts mentioned above, the National Hurricane Center chief scientist Christopher Landsea resigned in 2007 from the IPCC over what he cited as lack of confidence in the science.
I personally cannot in good faith continue to contribute to a process that I view as both being motivated by pre-conceived agendas and being scientifically unsound.
Most notable recently was the bogus claim In the IPCC AR4 that Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035 that appeared to be based on nothing more than a journalists opinion piece, contrary to IPCC rules that reports be based on peer reviewed science. The Times of India has just run their first political cartoon on the subject.
Just saw this on a Drudge headline;
“I thought of killing myself, says climate scandal professor Phil Jones”
