wattsupwiththat - Rewriting history: “treatment” of climate sceptics disappears from University of Oregon press statement

Posted on April 2, 2012 by Anthony Watts

I’ve been purposely ignoring this ugly pronouncement related to “Planet Under Pressure“, because well, it was just so beyond ugly and it brought up visions of the Soviet politburo defining political opposition as a mental illness. As Andrew Bolt put it, Something is sick, and it’s not the sceptics.

But now there’s been a cover up, and I have the goods.

Apparently, the maelstrom of embarrassment and public ridicule created by Kari Marie Norgaard, professor of sociology and environmental studies at the University of Oregon was too much for the University to bear. So, in the best Soviet style, they rewrote history, as if nobody would notice, without so much as an apology or update. I find it amazing in this day an age that University types still don’t understand the Internet and that disappearing things like this only makes it worse for you.

Now you see it:





The words “and treated” have now been sanitized from the University’s press statement, which is located here:

I hope that the University of Oregon Alumni are made aware of this.

UPDATE: It seems Norgaard herself has been “disappeared” from the University of Oregon web server. In the ORIGINAL press statement that I got from Google Cache, there’s a link to Norgaard’s faculty page, a portion of which I used in my third paragraph above.

Here’s the screencap, I put yellow highlight either side of the link to her page:



That link goes to: http://sociology.uoregon.edu/faculty/norgaard.php but that gives a 500 Internal Server error now:
