When the western media broke the story of email leak of the data, did you try to brush things under the carpet?
I am not at all trying to brush anything under the carpet. And as far these allegations are concerned, I have already made my position very clear.
How is it possible that in the last two years, neither you nor IPCC did even bother to test the veracity and credibility of the report presented by Husnain?
Because it did not come to our attention. To be honest, few weeks ago when it came to our notice, we accepted our mistake. At the same time, it is not possible for me to go through each and every word of the fourth assessment report which is 3,000 pages long.
It is very difficult to carry out research project on glaciers. So, what will be the next deadline for complete melting of some another glacier?
You are right. It is unfortunate that in our country there is a dearth of experts on glaciology and we need to enhance our capability in this regard. Understanding glacial dynamics is very important for people.
You talked about ‘rational people’. But undoubtedly you have given an opportunity to climate sceptics to raise questions against global warming. What is your stand?
I do agree with you. But climate sceptics are looking at anything and everything by which they can demolish the facts of the climate change. Whenever new knowledge emerges, there is always a body of people which stands to fight it tooth and nail. Sceptics are very powerful and they have support all over the world. All I can say is that the world would ultimately realise the truth about climate change.
