Leaked Heartland Institute Documents Reveal Opposition To Science

New submitter bheerssen writes with an excerpt from an article by The Bad Astronomer: "The Heartland Institute — a self-described 'think tank' that actually serves in part as a way for climate change denialism to get funded — has a potentially embarrassing situation on their hands. Someone going by the handle 'Heartland Insider' has anonymously released quite a few of what are claimed to be internal documents from Heartland, revealing the Institute's strategies, funds, and much more." At least one site has the documents in question.

    News at eleven.

    You know, everyone keeps mentioning this. I wait for it every day, but 11 comes and goes without any news. Are you sure you don't mean "News at 10"?

    He couldn't use the same name on both sites or he wouldn't be anonymous *rolls eyes*

    Yeah, but what about before 3? Have you never heard of the medieval small numbers period?
