Vermont State Climatologist: Why Is That Link Still There?

Update – May 20, 2010: The Fraser Institute document link has been removed from the VSC page.  Mission accomplished.

On Monday, November 2, 2009, I was directed to the Vermont State Climatologist (hereafter referred to as VSC) Home Page by a comment posted on the climate blog Open Mind.  I was shocked to see a link to a Fraser Institute document titled Understanding climate change – Fraser Institute  listed prominently on the VSC page.  The images below show the page as of May 1, 2010 and is the same as I saw it on November 2, 2009.

Understanding climate change - Fraser Institute listed prominently on the VSC page

I was shocked because the Fraser Institute is a well-known front group for oil and other interests that have waged a misinformation campaign against climate science.
