"Pressure mounting for Rajendra Pachauri to resign as IPCC head"

[WhiskeyGirl]

Tim Yeo, chairman of the House of Commons Energy and Climate Change Select Committee, joined calls for his resignation this morning.

"I’m afraid I think Dr Pachauri should resign. Firstly he personally has lost credibility, particularly in relation to his claim about the melting of the Himalayan glaciers in the next 30 years," he told the BBC.

He added: "It’s vital that this body is led by someone whose academic and intellectual credentials are unquestioned and I’m afraid that can no longer be said of him."

A damning report into the running of the UN climate change panel by the independent InterAcademy Council recommend last month that the chairman should serve only one six-year-term at a time and called for checks on conflicts of interest by board members.

I wonder what those conflicts of interest might be?

Any hope we can save the 'Beans N Dogs' nation before it's too late?

One man's sustainable development, may mean a nation reduced to not only 'Beans N Dogs' for the middle class, but beans and rice for the working poor.  Meanwhile, the White House parties on, and feasts on lobster and Kobe beef.
