Amid a growing outcry from climate researchers in its own ranks, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration backed away from a statement it released after last year's powerful hurricane season that discounted any link to global warming.
A corrected statement, which says some NOAA researchers disagree with that view, was posted to NOAA's Web site yesterday.
The change is part of a high-stakes fight over the issue of global warming, and what some scientists complain is a widening gap between what their research shows and White House climate policy.
Somewhere, Michael Crichton is glaring in disapproval.
