IPCC Chief Calls Canada a Climate "Opportunist"

Canada is being โ€œopportunisticโ€ in its stance on carbon emissions reductions, the head of the Nobel Prize-winning IPCC saidย Thursday.

Canada has said emissions reductions targets should apply to all major emitters, including China and India, although past negotiations have agreed that industrialised countries bear greater responsibility for climateย change.

It is really an opportunistic position that they are taking,โ€ said Rajendra K. Pachauri,. โ€œThis particular government has been a government of skeptics. They do not want to do anything on climate change,โ€ Pachauriย said.
