This might explain....

IPCC head Rajendra Pachauri's outburst against global warming deniers; evidently he's finagled a way to get petroleum and natural gas companies to bankroll a bodice ripper he's written. Now apart from the hilarity of a trained engineer/(posing as an) economist/(posing as a) climatologist apparently thinking he's Danielle Steele, he's also expecting us, apparently, to believe that there is no conflict of interest when the head of the IPCC is taking money from the companies he proposes to regulate.

Well, as honest men everywhere know, when men spend too much time thinking of (or writing about) feminine charms, the quality of their thinking tends to go down, and his recent outbursts are an excellent example of this principle. So are, for that matter, the last few IPCC reports.
