Heartland Confirms that it Mistakenly Emailed Internal Documents

15 February 12

The Heartland Institute has confirmed in a prepared statement that it mistakenly emailed its board materials to an anonymous third party - confirming the source of the documents released here on the DeSmogBlog yesterday.

Heartland then goes on allege that one of the documents (the Climate Strategy) is a fake.

The DeSmogBlog has reviewed that Strategy document and compared its content to other material we have in hand. It addresses five elements:

The Increased Climate Project Fundraising material is reproduced in and confirmed by Heartland's own budget.

The "Global Warming Curriculum for K-12 Classrooms" is also a Heartland budget item and has been confirmed independently by the author, Dr. David Wojick.

The Funding for Parallel Organizations; Funding for Selected Individuals Outside Heartland are both reproduced and confirmed in the Heartland budget. And Anthony Watts has confirmed independently the payments in Expanded Climate Communications.

The DeSmogBlog has received no direct communications from the Heartland Institute identifying any misstatement of fact in the "Climate Strategy" document and is therefore leaving the material available to those who may judge their content and veracity based on these and other sources.

I took a look at this.

I reviewed their profiles for both Christopher Monckton and S. Fred Singer.

I noticed that they continually refer to George Moonbat (Monbiot) as some kind of authoritative source.

Do you know how this group is funded?

Thanks,

Typical left-wing tactic to go after individuals to intimidate them.

Heartland is coming under fire from the enviro-nazis who want to turn it into a "Climategate"-type scandal.

They will also tell you that Climategate has been completely debunked, which is nonsense.

Since they are lying about the second point I think it is safe to assume that whatever happened at Heartland is being twisted to serve their purpose.

Are we supposed to be shocked that Heartland employs researchers that don't toe the AGW line? Scandalous!

Smart lawyer would see this as deep pockets and sue them individually and collectively.

Could be more money than big tobacco.

Question authority. Especially when dealing with naked Marxists.
