Corrections and clarifications

Two separate news items “‘Need for change in lifestyle to tackle climate change’” (North India editions, December 19, 2008) and “R.K. Pachauri calls on Yeddyurappa” (“Briefly”, Karnataka editions, December 19, 2008) referred to Rajendra K. Pachauri as a “Nobel laureate”. We repeat the clarification issued in this column on February 20, 2008, May 13, 2008 and June 12, 2008: “Merci Olsson, Marketing and Communications Manager, Nobelprize.org, Sweden (the official web site of the Nobel Foundation) clarifies that the recipient of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize was the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and not R.K. Pachauri. Mr. Pachauri participated in the award ceremony as a chairman of the IPCC. (The 2007 Peace Nobel was also shared by Albert Arnold (Al) Gore Jr.)”

It is Nobel laureate, and not Noble laureate as published in the North India editions.

It is the policy of The Hindu to correct significant errors as soon as possible. Please specify the edition (place of publication), date and page.
