And now, we find out it's just another in a long-line of self-serving Globo-Warmin scams.
This useful idiot liberal's OWN grant money was in danger of being cut off, so he FORGED a piece saying that Heartland was orchestrating a "Campaign" against the "Truth" of Globo Warmin'.
Meanwhile, the NYTIMES tries to bury the truth in a blog opinion piece. GET THIS OUT FAR AND WIDE, FOLKS.
Peter Glieck is the Chair of the "Pacific Institute", and an Assoc Prof at Berkeley for Climate Studies
This clown’s bio from Wiki:
Gleick received a B.S. from Yale University and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Energy and Resources from the University of California, Berkeley, with a focus on hydroclimatology. His dissertation was the first to model the regional impacts of climate change on water resources.[1][2][3].
Gleick also produced some of the earliest work on the links between environmental issues, especially water and climate change, and international security, identifying a long history of conflicts over water resources and the use of water as both a weapon and target of war.[4][5][6]
Gleick is the editor of the biennial series on the state of the world’s water, called The World’s Water,[2] published by Island Press, Washington, D.C., regularly provides testimony to the United States Congress and state legislatures, and has published many scientific articles. He serves as a major source of information on water and climate issues for the media, and has been featured on CNBC, CNN, Fox Business, Fresh Air with Terry Gross [3], NPR, in articles in The New Yorker,[4] and many other outlets. He has also been featured in a wide range of water-related documentary films, including “Running Dry” [5], “Flow: For Love of Water” [6], accepted for the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, and “Last Call at the Oasis” (from Participant Media) [7]. In 2010 his book “Bottled and Sold: The Story Behind Our Obsession with Bottled Water” [8] was published by Island Press.
Gleick lectures dozens of times a year on global water resource challenges and solutions, climate science and policy, and the integrity of science. In 2008, he presented the Abel Wolman Distinguished Lecture at the United States National Academy of Sciences. He was a 2009 Keynote Lecturer at the Nobel Conference at Gustavus Adolphus College. In 2011, Gleick received the IWRA Ven Te Chow Memorial Award [9].
He is the brother of noted author James Gleick and editor Elizabeth Gleick.

Another lying Watermelon bump.
Top climate scientists warn Congress over Keystone XL
When other huge oil fields or coal mines were opened in the past, we knew much less about the damage that the carbon they contained would do to the earth’s climate and its oceans. Now that we do know, it’s imperative that we move quickly to alternate forms of energy—and that we leave the tar sands in the ground.
We can say categorically that this pipeline is not in the nation’s, or the planet’s best interest.
Sincerely,
Peter Gleick, President and Co-founder Pacific Institute for Studies in Development, Environment, and Security

Peter Gleick Joins NCSE Board for Climate Change Education Initiative
January 17, 2012: Dr. Peter Gleick, president and co-founder of the Pacific Institute, has joined the National Center for Science Education’s board of directors. Dr. Gleick, a world-renowned water expert, will advise NCSE on its new climate change education initiative.
Peter Gleick talks climate change with NCSE in the video interview: Climate Change is Happening.
Dr. Gleick is certainly the right man for the job. A noted hydroclimatologist, he has devoted his life’s work to the impact of climate change on water resources. His research and writing address the critical connections between water and human health, the hydrologic impacts of climate change, sustainable water use, privatization and globalization, and international conflicts over water resources. Dr. Gleick has written nine books (including Bottled and Sold: The Story Behind Our Obsession with Bottled Water) and hundreds of articles, blog posts, book chapters, reports, and peer-reviewed research papers.
“Climate change is the fundamental environmental challenge of our time,” says Peter Gleick. “And how we educate our citizens—and especially our children—about climate change will have repercussions for generations to come.”

The National Center for Science Education (NCSE) is a not-for-profit membership organization that defends the teaching of evolution and climate change in the public schools.
“I forwarded, anonymously, the documents I had received to a set of journalists and experts working on climate issues,” he added. “I can explicitly confirm, as can the Heartland Institute, that the documents they emailed to me are identical to the documents that have been made public. I made no changes or alterations of any kind to any of the Heartland Institute documents or to the original anonymous communication.”
According to Heartland, however, at least one of the documents, “A Confidential Memo: 2012 Heartland Climate Strategy,” was forged.
ooops
What’s really amazing is some of the comments; trying to justify what he did. So I wrote the following comment:

Boca Raton, FL.
Reading some of these comments I am struck by one thought:
Who are the real deniers now?
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Looks like the Pro-Global Warming crowd has a lot of explaining to do. Where’s John Dingell when you need him? Ah yes, only if the scientist DISAGREES with you are Congressional hearings worth it (Remember David Baltimore people?).
But there’s always the modern day Elmer Gantry to ride to the rescue . . . wonder what Al Gore thinks of this? LOL!!!!
Bit by bit, the entire scam is unraveling. Well, there’s always the last refuge of the Man-Made Global Warning scoundrel . . . Alinsky them!!
