Heartland Institute Document Leaker Comes Forward, Maintains Documents Are Real

The Bad Astronomer writes "Last week, an anonymous source leaked several internal documents from the Heartland Institute, a non-profit think tank known for anti-global-warming rhetoric. The leaker has come forward: Peter Gleick, scientist and journalist. In his admission, he cites his own breach of ethics, but also maintains that all the documents are real. This includes the potentially embarrassing '2012 Climate Strategy' document stating that Heartland wants to 'dissuade teachers from teaching science.' Heartland still claims this document is a forgery, but there is no solid evidence either way."

Next news story will involve a suspicious deadly accident involving the leaker.

More likely - the Right will claim Peter Gleick is a party to Obama's Socialist Plot (whatever that is.)

Isn't that enough? You know that's it's OBAAAAMAAAAAAAAA (insert waving "spooky hands" gestures here)! Oooooooooo! And it's SOCIALIIIIIIIIST! And a PLOOOOOOOOOT! Scaaaaaaary!

So in conclusion, that's why we need more military funding. What are you, some kinda KENYAN COMMIE?!? HUH? HUH?

The government has MORE reason to lie about the moon landings than the people claiming they're fake.

Thank you for identifying yourself as completely incapable of rational discussion on this issue.
