Panchauri decision and climate change not related


Rajendra Pachauri - stepped down.
The stepping down of the head of the UN's climate science panel Rajendra Pachauri in the wake of sexual harassment claims is irrelevant.

What we have done to the climate and what the head UN climate body, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), may or may not have done, are absolutely unconnected.

Climate deniers will be celebrating this moment and exercising it in every way they can to ensure further distancing the climate movement from achieving it aims of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.

Mr Pachauri, chairman of the IPCC since 2002, has denied any wrongdoing, claiming his email account and mobile phone were hacked.
