IPCC chief Rajendra Pachauri under pressure to go over glacier error
Ben Webster, Environment Editor
The head of the UN’s climate change body is under pressure to resign after one
of his strongest allies in the environmental movement said his judgment was
flawed and called for a new leader to restore confidence in climatic science.
Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has insisted that he will remain in post
for another four years despite having failed to act on a serious error in
the body’s 2007 report.
John Sauven, director of Greenpeace
UK , said that Dr Pachauri should have acted as soon as he had been
informed of the error, even though issuing a correction would have
embarrassed the IPCC on the eve of the Copenhagen climate summit.
