New Delhi, Feb 5 (Inditop.com) Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Friday backed the beleaguered UN climate change panel, saying despite criticism of some of its work India had “full confidence” in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and its leadership.
“Some aspects of the science that is reflected in the work of the IPCC have faced criticism. But this debate does not challenge the core projections of the IPCC about the impact of greenhouse gas accumulations on temperature, rainfall and sea level rise,” the prime minister told the Delhi Sustainable Development Summit (DSDS) that began Friday,
This is the first major global meeting after the Copenhagen climate summit of December 2009.
“Let me here assert that India has full confidence in the IPCC process and its leadership and will support it in every way that it can.”
