Bush seeking ouster of climate chief

TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 2002

The Bush administration has decided not to renominate a highly regarded atmospheric scientist to head an international body on global warming.

The State Department is instead leaning toward an Indian scientist to head the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The body's current chief is Dr. Robert T. Watson, who has tied climate change to man-made causes such as oil and coal use.

The panel works under the United Nations and the World Meteorological Organization.
