PACHAURI 2 LAST

Pachauri defended the IPCC's use of so called "grey
literature" - sources outside peer-reviewed academic journals,
such as reports from campaign groups, companies and student
theses.
He said in its next report on climate, IPCC would stress
to authors and reviewers the importance of checking sources.
"Our procedures are very clear on the use of grey
literature. Whenever an author uses grey literature they need
to double check the source of information is authentic and
defensible.
"People have been using grey literature for quite some
time now. Apparently in this (Himalayan glacier) case there
has been a failure because authors did not follow the
procedures required," the climate czar said.
He also rebutted newspaper reports that he lived a lavish
lifestyle and wore USD 1,000 worth suits.
"It's ridiculous and it's a bunch of lies," Pachauri
said. PTI
