BANGKOK (AlertNet) — Continuing scepticism about climate change in some parts of the world threatens the planet and the people on it, according to Rajendra K. Pachauri, chief of the Nobel-prize winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

“I think global society has to realize that we are affecting the climate of this planet and this is the only planet that we have,” he said in Bangkok Friday at the Southeast Asia launch of the IPCC special report on managing the risks of extreme events and disasters

While scepticism about climate change continues in some parts of the world — particularly the United States — “some facts, which are incontrovertible need to be accepted by the public,” he urged.
