Pushing green technology to the fore, past the skeptics

COPENHAGEN: Rajendra Kumar Pachauri, Nobel laureate and chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, has little patience to worry about allegations from skeptics of climate change.

Scientific data supports the fact that global warming exists, he told China Daily on Sunday. He advised skeptics to check the data against their figures. The truth, he said, will prevail.

"It is a free world so let them believe they want to believe," he said. "Whenever new knowledge comes out, there will always be skeptics who will find that the knowledge blows in their face."
