Since “everyone” (i.e. 1, 2, and 3) broke this story before me, I know you already know Pachauri has published a book many describe as smut or porn. I haven’t read it, so I can’t say whether it really is pornographic, but it’s protagonist does appear to fondle many women’s breasts and engage in [...]

As some of you are aware, the Information Commission Office found that provisions of the UK FOI statutes were violated with regard to David Holland’s requests made in 2007 and 2008.

Mr Holland’s FOI requests were submitted in 2007/8, but it has only recently come to light that they were not dealt with in accordance with [...]

Many of us have been wondering when El Niño will peak. In NOAA’s Monday weekly update we find:
A majority of the models indicate that the current El Niño episode is near or at its peak (e.g. December-January-February).
That means the peak might be near So, it’s time to bet quatloos on the Niño 3.4 Average [...]

I’m reading calls for Pachauri to step down trumpeted all over the place. On the one hand, it appears he didn’t break any rules: The IPCC evidently has no rules governing conflict of interest. It’s not a violation for the head of the IPCC to run a company that can benefit financially from [...]
