We've Been Had - Feeling that Global Warming Pressure

Watts Up With That has the story.
BREAKING NEWS: scientist admits IPCC used fake data to pressure policy makers
The IPCC is now damaged goods. Pachauri is toast, and nobody will be able to cite the IPCC AR4 again without this being brought up.

The Daily Mail’s David Rose in the UK broke this story, it is mind boggling fraud to prod “government action” and grants. Emphasis in red mine.
From the Daily Mail:
The scientist behind the bogus claim in a Nobel Prize-winning UN report that Himalayan glaciers will have melted by 2035 last night admitted it was included purely to put political pressure on world leaders.
Dr Murari Lal also said he was well aware the statement, in the 2007 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), did not rest on peer-reviewed scientific research.
In an interview with The Mail on Sunday, Dr Lal, the co-ordinating lead author of the report’s chapter on Asia, said: ‘It related to several countries in this region and their water sources. We thought that if we can highlight it, it will impact policy-makers and politicians and encourage them to take some concrete action.
Folks, this has cost a fortune of OUR money, from all the scientists who used this scam to get grants, change our laws, our school books, plus who knows what else. Our whole way of thinking has been changed as a shrewd political power grab by those who want to change our way of living by the luddites and neo-luddites,  The Greenies.
