NEW DELHI, INDIA, February 2, 2001: He’s a part-time poet and full-time climate-change spokesman who travels sometimes 20 days a month and on some nights sleeps as little as two hours (his average is six). The tireless Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, may be showing some strain, but he vows to stay the course and prepare the ground for the world’s next crucial climate summit in Mexico later this year. Dr. Pachauri was interviewed for the Hindustan Times.

About the recent criticism of the IPPC latest report, Dr. Pachauri said, “There is only one error, the statement that the Himalayan glaciers would be melted by 2035, to which we admitted. The IPCC isn’t here to answer staunch deniers of climate change. Spurious individual complaints come through only two sources, The Times (London), and, more importantly, The Telegraph.”
