Though as an Environmental Scientist I congratulate Dr.R.K.Pachauri,Director General, TERI and Chairman IPCC for heading IPCC which jointly won Nobel Prize for peace along with Former US President Al Gore. It is wrong to attribute the Nobel peace prize to Dr.R.K.Pachari. It was not given to Individual like Al Gore. Let Dr.R.K.Pachauri search his conscience and refrain from all extravaganza by polluting atmosphere with Champagne. Dr.R.K.Pachauri is known for his craze for publicity. I have known him for over 3 decades. It so happened that Dr.R.K.Pachauri is the Chairman of IPCC. Infact I would have welcome Dr.M.S.Swaminathan,FRS who is well known as an Environmentalist and a legend in Science in general and agricultural Science in particular. Unfortunately Indian Press exaggerates whenever one wins an award without properly attributing it to the right organisation.Dr.Pachauri,please stop claiming yourself as the winner of Nobel Prize which was won by great people like Dalai Lama, Ban Moon Kyi etc., What TERI has achieved is nothing compared to great persons like Medha Phatkar who dedicated her life for preserving environment. If any Indian Gets Nobel Prize, can the Priome Minister take individual credit claiming the person won is an Indian.
