IPCC

Additional women are stepping forward with tales of inappropriate behaviour on the part of Rajendra Pachauri, who has chaired the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) since 2002.

Texts and emails allegedly sent by IPCC chairman Rajendra Pachauri tell a disturbing tale. Months after a female subordinate objected repeatedly and strenuously to his sexual advances, the head of a UN body continued to physically and electronically stalk her.

The IPCC chairman's latest adventures with journalists, courts, and police.

Rajendra Pachauri is being investigated under four sections of the Indian Penal Code - which stipulate maximum prison sentences of two, three, and seven years.

According to a police complaint, one of the biggest names in climate science grabbed, touched, and forcibly kissed a female subordinate in the workplace.

Charged with assessing the achievements of others, a jury that includes IPCC chairman Pachauri decides to heap honours on one of its own.

Context
The social psychology of groups conducting scientific assessments (e.g. the IPCC) is a topic that in my opinion does not receive sufficient attention.  For background, here are some previous CE posts:

An organization whose reputation is in tatters links its new document to a rude, intolerant, highly politicized climate crusader.
