Greenpeace wants Patchy out

The head of Greenpeace UK wants Raj Pachuari fired, the saga of his conflicts of interest and mishandling of errors in the IPCC reports having endured for so long as to make his continued tenure impossible.

The IPCC needs to regain credibility. Is that going to happen with Pachauri [as chairman]? I don’t think so. We need someone held in high regard who has extremely good judgment and is seen by the global public as someone on their side.

“If we get a new person in with an open mind, prepared to fundamentally review how the IPCC works, we would regain confidence in the organisation.”

Even Bob Ward looks a bit shaky, calling for the IPCC to examine Pachauri's handling of the glacier issue at its next plenary session.

Coming along nicely.

Might we suggest a few names who would be prepared to fundamentally review how the IPCC works, we would regain confidence in the organisation:

Viscount Monckton

"we would regain confidence in the organisation"

So even Green Slime don't believe them any longer?

If someone can be on the side of the global public, what is the other side?

"The IPCC needs to regain credibility."

It can do that very easily.

Just come clean and resign en-masse

simple really.

I second Philip Bratby's nomination. I would love to see Lord Monckton clean that house.

So how's the odds on Pachuari being fired by May?

Not sure if the bookies are taking bets, but the Quatloos are being put on the table at

(Bets are closed now, but it's an interesting range of bets.

No, Pachauri can't go. He's far too valuable where he is and doing a damn fine job of it too. Where else is the rational side going to find someone to damage the warble gloaming alarmists as well as Pachauri has been doing?

Hmm, there's a thought. He isn't really a plant is he?

Angry Exile, I second your motion. Patchy is a great symbol of the IPCC. I shall mourn the day we lose his invaluable contribution to the scam.

Has anything more happened with the investigation into TERI UK's finances?

Usual progressive dreck - Ignore the details undermining the organizations credibility, place blame on a single mannequin in the window and regain confidence by replacing it. The agenda is paramount, emotion will win the day.

India has the right idea, set up your own "IPCC" and don't rely on the UN NWO approach. Do what's right for your own people and economy. The rest will all follow.
