'Global Warming Meltdown' Article Pulled

On Nov. 20th Startribune.com had a nice article about the hacked emails called "A Global Warming Meltdown" written by by Andrew C. Revkin, of the New York Times.

The article talked about how the emails revealed that scientists were using statistical "tricks" to make charts show a recent sharp warming trend. I went to find that article today on their website and it is gone, it seems to have been pulled. I can't find it on the New York Times website either, a lot of other sites had linked to this article as well, but all you get is the 404 error message.

On Nov. 21 Andrew Revkin wrote another article called "Hacked E-Mail Is New Fodder for Climate Dispute" this article is essentially the same as the article written the day before only the headline is different. hhhhhmmmmm

Today's article on startribune.com on the subject which is now being called "Climategate" is Hackers leak climate change e-mails from key research unit, stoke debate on global warming. This article seems more directed at killing the messenger and how this may have been done to undermine the Copenhagen meeting.

This is probably the spin the mainstream press will put on this whole thing, which is a bit like saying Woodward and Burnstein were just trying to undermine Nixon.
