Down the memory hole: Rolling Stone erases ‘Climate Killers’ story

[Barrett808]

Every so often, Rolling Stone magazine presents some outstanding journalism. This is just my opinion.

The recent issue has an exciting read about the science of ice.

I am reading it now…It’s about glaciers and ice sheets and how ice is controlled by atmosphere and then how oceans affect ice -- a dramatic depiction of the dynamic relationship.

Halfway through the ice excitement, I went looking for the January 2010 issue of Rolling Stone -- the cover was "You Idiots! Inside the battle over global warming”. Rolling Stone listed the 17 people whom it calls "climate killers."

It was powerful. It named, shamed and blamed. But I can no longer find those names listed anywhere on the Internet…at least not where it is supposed to be.

They were there, but they have disappeared from the Internet. ...
