prediction : news related : BUSH-PICKED EXPERT WARNS ON GLOBAL WARMING

[+] serious ballot by Cathexis
created Mon Jan 24, 05
Dr Rajendra Pachauri, the chairman of the official Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), told an international conference attended by 114 governments in Mauritius this month that he personally believes that the world has "already reached the level of dangerous concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere" and called for immediate and very deep cuts in the pollution if humanity is to survive.

His comments rocked the Bush administration, which immediately tried to slap him down, not least because it put him in his post after Exxon, the major oil company most opposed to international action on global warming, complained that his predecessor was too "aggressive" on the issue.

Will the US push to have Pachauri replaced, as it did his predecessor?

Yes: The Bush Admin will push to have him replaced
No

COMMENTS:
A memorandum from Exxon to the White House in early 2001 specifically asked it to get the previous chairman, Dr Robert Watson, the chief scientist of the World Bank, "replaced at the request of the US."

The Bush administration then lobbied other countries in favor of Dr Pachauri -- whom the former vice-president Al Gore called the "let's drag our feet" candidate -- and got him elected to replace Dr Watson, a British-born naturalized American, who had repeatedly called for urgent action.

How bad is it when a Bush-picked "drags his feet" candidate warns on something?!?

Just another example of the short sightedness of the American Government. Pollution levels will only increase whilst America lead the world by such bad example.

In answer to your question though, yes, i am sure they will force him to step down.

Conservatives tend to be myopic, where as liberals tend to be hypermetropic.

There in lies the problem.

That guy has guts to contradict one of the Bush Adminstration's favorite Big Lies.

Ah, the comedy. The pathos. The broiling stupidity. Or maybe they just haven't noticed the weather going wonkier by the day (Christmas Day here in Atlanta was 72 F and sunny.). Or maybe the scuttlebutt is true, and they've got another planet to go to after they've gutted this one...
