What has now come to light, however, is that the scientist from whom this claim originated, Dr Syed Hasnain, has for the past two years been working as a senior employee of The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), the Delhi-based company of which Dr Pachauri is director-general. Furthermore, the claim – now disowned by Dr Pachauri as chairman of the IPCC – has helped TERI to win a substantial share of a $500,000 grant from one of America’s leading charities, along with a share in a three million euro research study funded by the EU.
One can only hope that the Daily Camera brings this to the attention of their readers. Use their Yahoo search bar to see the “excellent” coverage they have provided for the ongoing Climategate scandal.
Oh, more here….
The scientist behind the bogus claim in a Nobel Prize-winning UN report that Himalayan glaciers will have melted by 2035 last night admitted it was included purely to put political pressure on world leaders. (emphasis added – ed)
Do the ends justify the means? Especially if the “ends” are truly in question? Of course if it’s a religion then it’s different isn’t it? All you have to do is “believe”.
