Abstract

The article looks at Charles Monnett, a scientist at the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) who has been accused of scientific misconduct and suspended from his post after publishing a paper on ice melt and drowned polar bears in the journal "Polar Biology." Environmentalists and scientists including Michael Bromwich, Phillip Clapham, and Ian Stirling argue that Monnett has been targeted by those who wish to drill for oil and gas in Alaska.
