Climate change links vanish from DENR website (NC)
http://www.wral.com/climate-change-links-vanish-from-denr-website/13470340/Raleigh, N.C. — Links and documents about climate change have recently disappeared from the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources website.
As recently as Jan. 21, information about climate change was available on the front page of the Division of Air Quality's website. Sometime in the last two months, the page was edited to remove the link.
The link used to connect users to a page full of information and resources about greenhouse gases and climate change. That page no longer exists, either.
Two major reports on climate change are also missing from the site: a 100-page report on the possible economic impacts of greenhouse gas mitigation and the state's 118-page Climate Action Plan, a multi-year project involving dozens of experts and policymakers. Both were commissioned by the state legislature, then controlled by Democrats, and completed in 2008.
