under fire for errors in their work. (File Photo, AP)
International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) chief Rajendra Pachauri faced renewed questions about the agencies work and calls for his resignation. At a conference in India, Pachauri was swarmed by reporters and termed the recent errors found in the group’s reports as ‘one mistake.’
Following a discussion at the International Conference on Environment Audit Concerns About Water Pollution in his native India, Pachauri found himself surrounded by reporters. The press queried the climate chief about the errors and about mounting calls for his resignation from the climate body.
Pachauri remained defiant saying, “There is no several mistakes. There is only one mistake. Why should I resign? I have no reason to resign. I have a task to complete and I will finish it.”
Pachauri has become the center of an evolving story around the IPCC’s work and its claims of disastrous climate change caused by man.

What started as one exaggerated claim of melting Himalayan glaciers in the AR4 report has grown to now include many other errors and questionable citations in what was said to be the ‘gold standard’ of climate science.
The discovery of the errors coupled with the Climategate email scandal has forced the United Nations to launch an independent investigation into the IPCC. The inquiry is to be led by the InterAcademy Council (IAC), a multinational group of science academies.

Neither Pauchauri nor Al Gore have any class; that's for sure!
Very well done article, no complaints from me!
Pauchauri is an Indian citizen. Surely, India has criminal conflict of interest laws which could be used to rein in Pauchauri?
Pachauri, Al Gore, the UN IPCC and Climate research unit in east Anglia, are all frauds just like the Global warming claims.
Unfortunately one needs to read the UK media to learn about this since the US MSM is trying to cover up the numerous errors and distortions recently uncovered.
Unfortunately the administration is not interested in knowing the facts about these problems.
He is right, there was only one mistake. That mistake was thinking they could fool all of the people all of the time.
The rest were out right lies, intended to defraud the people of the world, raise taxes, and force universal government.
