In an exclusive interview with the Guardian, Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said it would be hypocritical to apologise for the false claim that Himalayan glaciers could melt away by 2035, because he was not personally responsible for that part of the report. "You can't expect me to be personally responsible for every word in a 3,000 page report," he said.
The IPCC issued a statement that expressed regret for the mistake, but Pachauri said a personal apology would be a "populist" step.
"I don't do too many populist things, that's why I'm so unpopular with a certain section of society," he said.
Um, assclown Pachauri the "certain section of society" that you sneer at are going to bear the burden of all the new "carbon taxes" that go from the First World to pay for for the Hind Attack Helicopters of 3rd World dictators.
Also a "populist" step would be to apologize like a man when your agency screws up and includes lies in the most important report they have ever published. He needs to step down right now before he gets a no-confidence vote and has to join the populist scumbags again.
