Pachauri faces review panel, defends IPCC report

Amsterdam: The head of the UN scientific body on climate change defended on Friday the work of the thousands of scientists who contribute to its reports, even as he welcomed a review of procedures that produced errors undermining the panel’s public credibility.

The chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Rajendra Pachauri, cautioned an independent scientific committee reviewing the IPCC’s work not to undermine scientists’ motivation for contributing to reports on global warming.

Pachauri told the committee’s first review meeting that the panel’s conclusions are valid, even in the areas where mistakes were discovered. Pointing to the most glaring error, a claim that the world’s glaciers will melt by 2035, Pachauri said glaciers are indeed melting, though not that fast. AP
