The latest news

So another day another IPCC scandal. The ABC – our ABC – have a great headline, UN climate claims ‘based on student essay’. At this point, you got to know they’re in trouble.

So there has been a huge lapse in quality control. How could such a thing happen? Perhaps because Rajendra Pachauri has been writing ‘adult literature‘. Field work for such an effort must leave one simply too exhausted to do anything else. More saucy details here. As Anthony Watts says

Time to kick Pachy to the curb, he’s not just toast now, he’s carbonized.

The more I think about, the more I believe he deserves that Nobel Prize he got 2007.

  1. From Doc Pach’s latest novel…

    On the way he encounters, among others, Shirley MacLaine, the actress, who appears as a character in the book. While relations between Sanjay and MacLaine remain platonic, he enjoys sex – a lot of sex – with a lot of women.

    In breathless prose that risks making Dr Pachauri, who will be 70 this year, a laughing stock among the serious, high-minded scientists and world leaders with whom he mixes, he details sexual encounter after sexual encounter.

    The book, which makes reference to the Kama Sutra, starts promisingly enough as it tells the story of a climate expert with a lament for the denuded mountain slopes of Nainital, in northern India, where deforestation by the timber mafia and politicians has “endangered the fragile ecosystem”.

    But talk of “denuding” is a clue of what is to come.

    By page 16, Sanjay is ready for his first liaison with May in a hotel room in Nainital. “She then led him into the bedroom,” writes Dr Pachauri.

    “She removed her gown, slipped off her nightie and slid under the quilt on his bed… Sanjay put his arms around her and kissed her, first with quick caresses and then the kisses becoming longer and more passionate.

    Is he going for the Nobel prize in literature too now? hahahahahahahhaha

  2. Here’s more on DOc Pach.

    Recall Pachy told everyone they will have to get used to living with less?

    The Doc has a driver to give him a ride to the office which is a mile away from his home.

    Controversial climate change boss uses car AND driver to travel one mile to office… (but he says YOU should use public transport)

  3. From the same piece……..

    At his office, Dr Pachauri has at his disposal four electric cars obtained by the institute last year from REVA – the Indian company that makes the G-Wiz cars seen in many British cities.

    The institute bought the battery-powered cars with the express aim of reducing pollution on short trips by staff around town. One of those cars has been set aside for his personal use.

    Dr Rajendra Pachauri’s work earned him a Nobel Prize

    The chauffeur said Dr Pachauri’s family owned or ran a total of five cars. Dr Pachauri used three: the company Toyota, the REVA and an older ‘Ambassador-style car’ – a reference to the smoke-belching, Indian-made Hindustan Ambassador car, based on the vintage British Morris Oxford, that is a common sight at taxi ranks in Delhi.

    The family’s two other cars are owned by Dr Pachauri’s wife and his grown-up son, also a scientist.

    The five-star lifestyle and considerable wealth of Dr Pachauri – who is said to wear suits costing £1,000 each – has come under growing scrutiny since he was forced to acknowledge the error of the claims in an explosive 2007 IPCC report that the Himalayan glaciers might melt within 25 years.

  4. I loved this comment from a “TGordon” on Bolt’s blog:

    One thing’s for sure, read this book and you’re never going to be able to read the phrase “UN Member” again without mentally prefixing it with “throbbing.”

    (Can I say that here?)

    Maybe some product tie-in potential too. Viagra to “hide the decline”?

    Imagine the movie version, Pachauri leading a Bollywood cast of Kevin’s ‘guys in white coats who run around measuring things’…

    Oh lordy. Okay, I think I’d better shut up.

  6. This is really funny.

    I think the comment on ‘Watts up with that’ by Ric Werme should win the international blog comment of the month award.

    “Was the book peer reviewed before publication?”

  7. Kevin Rudd on the IPCC: “Guys in white coats who run around and don’t have a sense of humour. They just measure things.”

  9. Wonderful stuff, but “peer reviewed before ejacualation” would have been even better.
