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."

this is the same libertarian think tank

that enjoys shitting in the face of science and progress under the pretext of that etherial "hand of the market." other notable endeavors theyre renound for include:
creating controversy and doubt over the fact that smoking causes health problems
drafting policies targeted at reducing the services provided by the federal government to nothing more than a "competitive marketplace"
instituting "market reform" into the education system and championing charter schools (here in los angeles, charter schools show up in the news once a week for some major breech of trust, child abuse or embezzlement scandal)
the same reaganite health care privatization and deinstitutionalization mentality that landed an entire generation of schitzophrenics and invalids on the streets of skid row.
