NEW DELHI: In grave charges against one of the world’s most visible climate warriors, Rajendra K Pachauri, chairman of UN’s Nobel-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, has been accused in a British newspaper report of misusing his position to amass a “fortune” through his links with “carbon trading” companies. Pachauri dismissed the charges as “a pack of lies”.
The ‘expose’ in The Telegraph of London claims that Pachauri has established an ‘‘astounding worldwide portfolio of business interests with bodies which have been investing billions of dollars in organizations dependent on the IPCC’s policy recommendations’’.
One of the report’s authors, Christopher Booker, is a well-known climate change sceptic.
