On BBC’s frozen planet (the one of infamous misleading polar bear shots) after flying over the Arctic with two helicopters David Attenborough commented that the polars bears that the scientists he was with had been tranquillizing every year seemed to be [...]]]> http://www.anonymong.org/2011/12/28/of-polar-bears/feed/ 0 http://www.anonymong.org/2011/12/15/climate-sceptics-the-new-wikileakers/ http://www.anonymong.org/2011/12/15/climate-sceptics-the-new-wikileakers/#comments Thu, 15 Dec 2011 13:27:18 +0000 Giolla http://www.anonymong.org/?p=2119 Via the ever well informed Katabasis my attention has been drawn to the rather worrying seizure of computers owned by UK climate sceptic bloggers. Apparently at the behest of the U.S. Department of Justice as other climate bloggers have received nasty grams (cache) from our friends across the pond.
