- Analysis: Waste No Tears on the death of UN IPCC’s Rajendra Pachauri – ‘He was a perjurer, an habitual liar & fantasist about the IPCC, a hypocrite, corrupt, & a non-scientist prepared to defame real scientists to cover his own and the IPCC’s gross bumbling’
Tony Thomas: "Pachauri was not fit to run a small Delhi eco-thinktank, but was deemed fit soon after to run a UN climate outfit mustering trillion-dollar spending on renewables and plotting a $US100 billion a year transfer of money from the West to Third World corruptocrats."

Flashback 2015: Outgoing UN IPCC Chief reveals global warming ‘is my religion and my dharma’
IPCC Chair Pachauri forced out at UN climate panel after sexual harassment complaint
Pachauri's resignation letter on religion: 'For me the protection of Planet Earth, the survival of all species and sustainability of our ecosystems is more than a mission. It is my religion and my dharma.'UN IPCC critic Journalist Donna Laframboise responds: 'Yes, the IPCC – which we’re told to take seriously because it is a scientific body producing scientific reports – has, in fact, been led by an environmentalist on a mission. By someone for whom protecting the planet is a religious calling.'

Dr. Roy Spencer: "Given the latest projections of CO2 emissions, future CO2 concentrations will not only be well below the RCP8.5 scenario, but might not even be as high as RCP4.5, with atmospheric CO2 concentrations possibly not even reach a doubling (560 ppm) of estimated pre-Industrial levels (280 ppm) before leveling off. This result is even without future reductions in CO2 emissions, which is a possibility as new energy technologies become available.
I think this is at least as important an issue to discuss as the implausibility (impossibility?) of the RCP8.5 scenario. And it raises the question of just how good the carbon cycle models are that the UN IPCC depends upon to translate anthropogenic emissions to atmospheric CO2 observations."
- Factsheet on Global Droughts: NOAA: ‘No trend’ in global droughts since 1950 – Other study finds ‘a decline in drought levels in recent decades’
Are droughts getting worse globally?
The IPCC says it is hard to say (‘low confidence’) whether global drought has become better or worse since 1950.
Figures from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) show no trend in the proportion of the globe in drought since 1950 (see Figure 1). Others have suggested a decline in drought levels in recent decades.
