>> Rajendra K. Pachauri a scientist from India <<

It’s not accurate to call him a scientist. His M.A. and Ph.D. degrees are in industrial engineering.

An M.A. in engineering? Is that a typo?

Oh? An engineer can’t be a scientist as well? LOL!

Actually, your statement on its face is not correct. A lot of Engineers are those who apply scientific fundamentals and principals to the real world; we don't just deal in the theoretical. So your argument holds no weight with me. Better to criticize his lack of proper application of those principals than to attack the Engineering profession.

I'm an Engineer, and as far as I'm concerned, the whole AGW movement has no basis on any sound scientific evidence. So, am I unqualified to make that statement because I'm an Engineer? I think not.
