While Pachauri&#8217;s tenure has been marked by controversies, none are of his own making, and he should not be compelled to leave a position for which he is eminently suited because of a spurious publicity campaign.  The oft-cited errors in the 2007 IPCC report no more invalidate the bulk of that document than a reportorial mistake in the Times negates the rest of the paper&#8217;s news.  The barrage of ginned-up &#8220;scandals&#8221; aimed at reducing the credibility of the IPCC and of climatologists in general has crippled our ability to sustain a reality-based discussion on climate issues (as witness the Republican party&#8217;s comprehensively anti-science stance, unthinkable a decade ago).  Here&#8217;s hoping that Dr. Pachauri can help us wake up to the reality of global climate change before it&#8217;s too late. <\/p>\n<p>Warren Senders\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pachauri stays.
