Indian-style

There are lies, damn lies and then there is Pachauri. James Delingpole has him sussed.

But for an example of investigative journalism, you can do no better than the Indian online journal MeriNews - slogan "power to the people".

"According to the content published in The Sunday Telegraph, 'Pachauri had set up an astonishing worldwide portfolio of business interests with bodies which have been investing billions of dollars in organizations dependent on the IPCC's policy recommendations.' ... Let's hope this controversy subsides like a drop of rain in the sea, otherwise it would blight India's name in the international scenario," it says.

A slightly different view elsewhere though, and here, while Bishop Hill gives Pachauri a hammering. Devil's Kitchen declares: "It's war! "
