Pachauri’s TERI institute golf course – water hog in a city desperate for fresh water

Richard North of the EU Referendum reports on this bizarre twist with IPCC Chairman Rajenda Pachauri’s use of land that was designated for public use, now runs afoul of the grant terms under which the land was given. Plus a lot of water in a city that has water shortages. So much for sustainability. Pachauri, famous for telling other how to live sustainable lives has a private chauffeur, spurns his electric cars provided for him, and once said in a newspaper interview: ‘Unfortunately, “social and environmental issues are often left without effective support when economic growth takes precedence,” he added.’ So, that’s why you charge memberships to your golf course and keep out the public from land given to you designated for public use? The Age: Greens take on sceptics: Australian green groups have called a strategy meeting to devise ways to hit back at the climate sceptics movement, amid fears they are losing the PR war. The groups, including Greenpeace, the Wilderness Society, World Wide Fund for Nature, Australian Conservation Foundation and Friends of the Earth, have acknowledged that the public mood has shifted following the collapse of the Copenhagen climate talks and blows to the credibility of the IPCC.
