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.

“Energy and Recourses Phd?”
Is that sort of like a degree in “Advanced Somethingorotherology”.
This guy is an idiot...and his only “genius” was to marked such shoddy credentials for so many years.
But...when compared to your typical MSM “journalist”, I guess he is a genius.
Top climate scientist admits he lied to obtain and leak Heartland documents
Pacific Institute President Peter H. Gleick apologized and called his actions “a serious lapse of my own professional ethics and judgment.” But he also said his decision to fraudulently acquire and then leak a set of explosive documents from the conservative, climate skeptic think tank was prompted by sustained attacks from climate deniers.
“My judgment was blinded by my frustration with the ongoing efforts — often anonymous, well-funded and coordinated — to attack climate science and scientists and prevent debate, and by the lack of transparency of the organizations involved,” he wrote.
The leak of the Heartland memos — including a disputed one purporting to outline a strategy to pay a Department of Energy contractor to prepare school curriculum teaching children that the science behind man-made global warming is unsettled — rocked the climate world last week when they were released to bloggers.
Heartland officials early on acknowledged that it accidentally released several of the memos to someone claiming to be a member of its board of directors. It maintains the “climate strategy” memo is a fraud, calling it “totally fake and intended to defame and discredit the Heartland Institute.”
Gleick yesterday denied authorship of that memo. He said he received it in the mail in 2012. “I do not know the source of that original document, but I assume it was sent to me because of my past exchanges with Heartland and because I was named in it,” said the scientist who has sparred often with Heartland and others who do not believe in the scientific underpinnings of man-made global warming.
He maintained the quest to verify it led him to trick the Heartland Institute into giving out more information.
