New Delhi: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change chairman R K Pachauri on Saturday termed as a "human error" the findings in its report about melting of Himalayan glaciers, but ruled out his resignation on the issue.
Pachauri, who is under attack from various quarters over the IPCC's 2007 report that said the glaciers in the Himalayas will disappear by 2035 due to global warming, said the mistake was "unfortunate".
"I have no intention of resigning from my position. I have a task. I am going to complete the Fifth Assessment Report," he said in New Delhi.
"There are huge problems on climate change. Climate change is not limited to Himalayan glaciers. Rational people will continue to repose faith in IPCC," he said.
"This was a human error. We will do everything to see that such mistakes are not repeated," he said.
