Why was this pulled?
I just saw this on the front page yesterday and now it's not there. Can someone tell me why it was removed? I think this is a significant event! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dilcoe (talk • contribs) 16:59, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've made some changes [1]. The article appear to be suggesting that people had thought Antartica was unaffected by global warming and that there was no known temperature change before this study. Actually, all the references I've looked at to support the claims don't say anything of the sort. They say there was insufficient data to know but that there was various theories suggesting it was or would happen and that temperature had been rising but that it couldn't be conslusively linked to human activity.
