Update: NYT’s Revkin: Polar bear study’s ‘Monnett has been under investigation since at least last February…and was placed on administrative leave with pay on July 18’
Agency Claim: 'The agency placed Monnett on administrative leave for reasons having nothing to do with scientific integrity'
NYT's Revkin's Response: 'Her statement doesn't mesh well with the transcript of one of the investigative interviews conducted with Monnett — which goes through page after page of questioning on swimming and dead polar bears and statistics'
