A damaging report has sparked controversy and further shattered the credibility of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. A 2007 IPCC report made an incorrect claim, based on a single statement quoted in New Scientist magazine in 1999, that the Himalayan glaciers would disappear by 2035. Speaking to BBC News,  Dr. Benny Peiser, for the UK-based Global Warming Foundation, criticized the IPCC, stating, "It is about the process with which it comes to its conclusions; how they pick and choose papers, how they emphasise certain problems and how they exaggerate certain potential risks - that is at issue here." Despite this error and other dubious conclusions reached under the highly leftist and internationalist purview of the IPCC, chairman Rajendra Pachauri refuses to step down. "I want to tell the sceptics... who see me as the face and the voice of the science of climate change, I am in no mood to oblige them; I am going to remain as chairman of the IPCC for my entire term."
