Now he's accused of exaggerating the climate change crisis. MOST mornings he is driven to work from his £5 million home in a 1.8-litre Toyota Corolla by his personal chauffeur, as befits his status as director-general of a New Delhi research institute employing more than 700 staff. Dr Rajendra Pachauri is also a winner of a Nobel Peace prize, the holder of India’s second-highest civilian award, an officer of the French Legion of Honour and is used to being treated with respect. But for some of those who challenge the international consensus on climate change he is public enemy number one and his travel arrangements are fair game. That’s because he is also the chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the UN body set up in 1988 to conduct regular assessments on the state of global warming.

A scathing report into the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change called for it to avoid politics and stick instead to predictions based on solid science. The probe, by representatives of the Royal Society and foreign scientific academies, took a thinly-veiled swipe at Rajendra Pachauri, the panel's chairman for the past eight years.

The New Zealand Climate Science Coalition said it had lodged papers with the High Court asking the court to invalidate the official temperatures record of the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (Niwa). The lobby of climate sceptics and ACT Party have long criticised Niwa over its temperature data, which Niwa says is mainstream science and not controversial, and the raw data publicly available.
