New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has come out in support of the Nobel-prize winning body Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) headed by Dr Rajender Pachauri.
The environment watchdog has been in the eye of a storm regarding its predictions on Indian glaciers. Pachauri had to apologise and withdraw the IPCC's forecast that Himalayan glaciers will melt away by 2035.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in January this year had admitted that its conclusion on melting of Himalayan glaciers by 2035 was based on "poorly substantiated" estimates while the scientist blamed for the goof-up pointed the finger at the expert who included the year in the UN report.
