Climategate, Googlegate and censoring

There has been a lot of talk in recent months about the so called "Googlegate". We all knew Google was censoring the data is sent into China on behalf of their the Chinese government, but many people had no idea about what Google was doing to the search results here.

Some people believe Google is censoring the search results, some people think that is pure tinfoil hat stuff, after all Google has a motto of "Do no evil". I think they are censoring results. When I first looked earlier today, 1,750,000 records were returned. An hour later, 1,660,000 records returned.

I will let you decide for yourself. Compare and contrast the search results for "climategate" for Google, Yahoo, and Bing.

Who is censoring who?

UPDATE: This morning Google search returned 1,640,000 records.
