    Just to be fair and balanced...

    "He also apologized for describing as “voodoo science†an Indian Government report which challenged the IPCC’s claims about the rapid melting of Himalayan glaciers."

    etc., etc....

    So what do you think? Should he step down or not? If not, why not?

    Of course he should resign! AGW skeptics have been saying for years that he is a politician, not a scientist. Now he admits it:
    He said he would focus in future on presenting the science on climate change rather than advocating policies.

    “I will try to clarify that I’m not prescribing anything as a solution. Maybe I should be more careful [in media interviews] in laying down certain riders. One learns from that and I’m learning.â€
    ​
    The whole IPCC organization is political in nature and is using the unproven man-made global warming hypothesis as a convenient crisis to justify societal sacrifices.
