< Its an old republican trick. They continuously cite arch conservative think tanks to validate their views. > Better yet, they shitcan those whose views disagree with theirs whenever possible.... Source: BBC News [Apr 20, 2002] One of the most outspoken scientists on the issue of global warming has been ousted from his job. Dr Robert Watson was voted out of the chair of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on Friday and will be replaced by one of the current vice-chairs, Dr Rajendra Pachauri. Dr Watson's removal will spark a huge political row - environmentalists accuse the US Government of orchestrating a campaign to have the scientist sidelined. They say Washington disliked Dr Watson's willingness to tell governments what he believes to be the unvarnished truth - that human activities are now contributing dangerously to climate change. Government representatives attending an IPCC meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, voted 76 to 49 for the engineer and economist Dr Rajendra Pachauri to take the chair. Dr Pachauri, the director of the Tata Energy Research Institute in New Delhi, was the US administration's favoured candidate. evworld.com
