if someone has a subscription, maybe they could post up some of the article.
I don`t have a subscription to the article mentioned by skooker but I suspect it`s about the latest scandal which made headlines in the German newspapers:
Klimaforscher Lennart Bengtsson tritt aus Skeptikerverein GWPF aus - SPIEGEL ONLINE
I initially intended to post this in skook`s 74 000 views post, but after you asked this question I decided to post it here.
Last month, Lennart Bensston, the director of the Max Planck climate research resigned his post after heavily criticizing the IPCC for having exaggerated their published data and predictions.
I published his interviews and public statements in skook`s thread:

Well, it only took 2 weeks for the IPCC mob to viciously attack Bensston after that:
Bengtsson war dem Akademischen Beirat der Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) beigetreten. Jetzt macht er seinen Schritt rückgängig. "Ich wurde unter so großen Druck gesetzt, den ich nicht mehr ertragen konnte", erklärt Bengtsson in einer Mitteilung an die GWPF. Kollegen hätten sich abgewendet, manche hätten die Zusammenarbeit beendet. Er hätte sich zudem um seine Gesundheit und Sicherheit gesorgt, weshalb er aus dem GWPF wieder ausgetreten sei. "Wie bei der Kommunistenverfolgung"
Er fühle sich an die Zeit der Kommunistenverfolgung in den USA in den Sechzigerjahren erinnert, erklärt Bengtsson. Er habe es nie für möglich gehalten, dass dergleichen möglich sei in der Meteorologie. Die Wissenschaftlerzunft scheine sich verändert zu haben in den vergangenen Jahren. Die Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) erklärt, man habe den Rücktritt mit großem Bedauern zur Kenntnis genommen. Der Vorgang offenbare einen "schockierenden Grad an Intoleranz in der Gesellschaft und einen Widerspruch zu den Grundprinzipien einer offenen wissenschaftlichen Debatte".
I`ll keep it short and just translate the highlights:
After Bengsston joined the GWPF skeptics he was subjected to massive pressure and harassment by his former IPCC collueagues to the point where it affected his health....and left him with no other choice to leave the GWPF.
Bensston said he never thought it possible that Meteorology would become as intolerant as it is has become in recent years.
"It displays a shocking degree of intolerance towards public debate of the underlying scientific principles"
Bengsston likens the harassment he was subjected to the communist witch hunt of the sixties.
If the article that you were after is not about the latest developments concerning Bengsston...it should be.
I`m not at all surprised that nothing of that has been published by the mainstream media on this side of the Atlantic.
