Well to quote the original article :
The panel is due to deliver its latest report on the state of the climate later this week in Stockholm, Sweden.
Its last report was criticised after an error on glaciers unveiled other flaws, but Prof Pachauri said procedures had been reformed and strengthened.
He also dismissed suggestions of a slowdown in global warming.
"There’s definitely an increase in our belief that climate change is taking place and that human beings are responsible,” he told me.
"I don't think there is a slowdown (in the rate of temperature increase). I would like to draw your attention to the World Meteorological Organization which clearly stated on the basis of observations that the first decade of this century has been the warmest in recorded history.

Scientists usually take for granted a set of basic assumptions that are needed to justify the scientific method:Originally posted by sasguru View PostNo science is certain, that was my point.
- That there is an objective reality shared by all rational observers
- That this objective reality is governed by natural laws
- That these laws can be discovered by means of systematic observation and experimentation
"Climate scientists" (sic) conveniently ignore point 3 and rely on conjecture and the connivance of useful idiots not to question the underlying observations or seek empirical proof
HTHHow fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't thinkComment
