The (Bogus) Scientific Method

UPDATE: Video. Hitler lends himself to parody yet again.***Daily Mail:

The scientist behind the bogus claim in a Nobel Prize-winning UN report that Himalayan glaciers will have melted by 2035 last night admitted it was included purely to put political pressure on world leaders.
The UN IPPC head still claims their procedure is "robust". Um, there was this other teensy detail:

The WWF article also contained a basic error in its arithmetic. A claim that one glacier was retreating at the alarming rate of 134 metres a year should in fact have said 23 metres – the authors had divided the total loss measured over 121 years by 21, not 121.

His name is Dr. Raj Pachauri.
