HOUSTON:
Rajendra Pachauri said he thought he was “walking into the lion’s den” when he told oil executives they need to take a lead in cutting greenhouse gas emissions in order to save the earth.
Pachauri, chairman of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with former US Vice President Al Gore, said the oil industry has been both lion and lamb when it comes to seeing the need to cut greenhouse gas emissions to prevent global warming.
“It’s a very mixed response,” Pachauri said on the sidelines of the CERA Week Energy Conference held at the heart of the US oil industry in Houston.
“I was very struck by (ConocoPhillips chief executive) Jim Mulva’s presentation when he talked about the pressure that the public is going to put on legislators and on companies,” Pachauri said. “And those who do not accept that reality will face a huge reputational risk.”
Mulva told the conference that the US government should enact climate change policies that would tie into programmes abroad. Mulva also said the petroleum industry must cut greenhouse gas emissions and that those in it “no longer have the luxury of standing on the sideline.”
Pachauri noted Europe’s BP and Royal Dutch Shell have long said emissions must be cut.
“They have been several years ahead of what you see over here,” Pachauri said. “There are others who are still apparently not convinced that something needs to be done. So it’s a mixed picture.”
Pachauri, 67, said he will make a decision in “two or three weeks” whether he will run for another term as IPCC chairman. He joked that the IPCC could be dissolved since “captains of industry” are having the same discussions on climate change.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
