"Last month I witnessed something shocking. Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, was giving a talk at the University of NSW. The talk was accompanied by a slide presentation, and the most important graph showed average global temperatures. For the past decade it represented temperatures climbing sharply. As this was shown on the screen, Pachauri told his large audience: 'We're at a stage where warming is taking place at a much faster rate [than before]'. Now, this is completely wrong." - Michael Duffy, Sydney Morning Herald
