Speaking after the release of 'Discussion paper on Snow and Glaciers of Himalayas' prepared by Space Application Centre (SAC), a part of ISRO, Ramesh said, “There is no alternative to our science, as science is politics in climate change.

 

“We should have more and more studies by our scientists on climate change and they should be published. Or else, we will be led by our noses by Western scientists, who has less science on their mind and more politics."

 

Ramesh made these statements referring to the controversy over report of Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), led by R K Pachauri, which said Himalayan glaciers will melt in the next few years. Read the full report here.
