What a curiosity you have raised, Richard!

Ok, that’s atypical, they’re less forthcoming. What does that tell us? I’m politely asking: so what?

Well, if you’d google me, you’d find that I have a wife called Julie Anne and a daughter named Meabh — you’d find pictures of my friends, their families, and what school they went to. We live in public.

Not Reisinger and Pachauri. There is nothing about their private life. That’s very atypical for their age.

That’s an interesting story, but what are you saying about the lack of Google hits for them?

The story, with links, is here: http://eureferendum.blogspot.com/2010/01/keeping-it-in-family.html

Google “andy reisinger” or “rashmi pachauri” and you’ll learn nothing about their personal lifes. Google any other highly educated thirty-something, and you’ll find holiday pictures, baby pictures, wedding pictures, what have you.

That’s interesting. Do you have a source for the information on Rashmi Pachauri?

Reisinger lived in Delhi for over a year, ostensibly for his IPCC work, but the UK would have been a better location for that.

Reisinger is now in New Zealand. So is Pachauri’s eldest daughter Rashmi. There is no sign of her being employed there (she was a successful consultant in Delhi), while Reisinger’s wife/girlfriend just had a baby.

Unlike most people at their age and education, there is nothing online about Andy Reisinger’s or Rahsmi Pachauri’s personal life.

Richard, You can see my posting, NZ’s Reisinger — God’s right-hand man, dated January 15, 2010, for more details. Briefly, I mention the fact the Reisinger works for TERI and reports to Pachauri in his work for the IPCC. The links with TERI may be contracting, employment or both - it's unclear - but it's of long standing, about four years, if I recall correctly. Dr Richard North, at EUReferendum, has produced a series of remarkable investigative reports on Pachauri, TERI, Reisinger and others. I have not heard of Reisinger marrying a relative of Pachauri.

“Andrew Reisinger [...] has commercial and other ties with Rajendra Pachauri”

Could you elaborate “other ties”? Rumour has that Pachauri is his father-in-law, but I have never seen this confirmed.

Thanks, David. I also remain firmly of the opinion that change will be effected by winning people’s hearts, which is not achieved by name-calling. The more often that reasonable, moderate views are sounded in forums and blogs the quicker the vitriol and name-calling will die away.

Hear, hear. Well said.

Rodney also has more credibility regarding environmental science than any other NZ MP, at least from an academic qualification perspective. National is to be pilloried for continuing to hold their current policy on CO2 and the ETS in the face of this scientific farce. The hoax has been unmasked — time to face facts and change course appropriately.

The UN is trying to sell paper “indulgences” to countries for a billion here and a billion there and NZ is swallowing this fairy tale like ignorant numpties. At least Parliament is. Time to wake up, yokels and yokelesses. The populace are not with you on this one. (Except for the odd worshipper of Gorebull.)
