Pachauri admits mistake & upholds IPCC findings on Himalayan glaciers

Chairman of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change R K Pachauri on Saturday admitted the mistake in the panels report that the Himalyan glaciers will disappear by 2035 due to global warming. Terming the mistake as unfortunate, he said it is a human error and he will do everything possible to see that such mistakes are not repeated. He, however ruled out his resignation over the issue.<br/><br/>Dr Pachauri said the IPCC is a body of hundreds of eminent scientists selected and nominated by different governments. He said there are huge problems on climate change. Climate change is not limited to Himalayan glaciers, he said.<br/><br/>Noted Geogologist V.K. Raina on Friday sought an apology from Dr. Pachuri for debunking the findings of his research without assigning any reason. He said that he never found any thing sensational in his research as has been brought out by Dr. Pachuri's report.
