"Fakegate" Blows Up in Warmist Faces
Warning Signs ^ | Tuesday, February 21, 2012 | Alan Caruba

Posted on 02/21/2012 6:34:19 PM PST by Ernest_at_the_Beach

On February 16, I published “Anatomy of a Global Warming Hoax” concerning the theft of the private records of The Heartland Institute’s board meeting and the creation of an alleged forged document intended to harm its reputation as a long time advocate of the real, not fake, science that has been the basis of the global warming—now called “climate change”—hoax.

The Feb 21 issue of The Wall Street Journal published an editorial, “The Not-So-Vast Conspiracy” noting that “As for ‘the largest international science conference of skeptics’ Heartland will, according to the documents, spend all of $380,000 this year on the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change. That’s against the $6.5 million that the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) costs Western taxpayers annually, and the $2.6 billion the White House wants to spend next year on research into ‘global changes that have resulted primarily from global over-dependence on fossil fuels.’” (Emphasis added)


The global warming hoax has cost taxpayers billions since it was initiated and earned the purveyors of “carbon credits” millions as industry and others paid for the privilege of emitting “greenhouse gas”—primarily carbon dioxide—as part of doing business. Currently the European Union is trying to shake down the airline industry by charging them a surtax on their emissions as they fly tourists and businessmen to that benighted continent. Most of the exchanges that sold the credits have since closed.

The infamous “Cap-and-Trade” legislation that thankfully died in Congress was part of this scam.

We now know that the document theft was either perpetrated or abetted by Dr. Peter E. Gleick, a water and climate analyst, and founder of the Pacific Institute.

I would be rather pleasant to see this so called “scientist”, end up in a jury trial and found guilty and sent to prison. He obviously was willing to participate in a criminal activity. Hopefully the Heartland Institute will push for such legal actions to get started soon.

...and the $2.6 billion the White House wants to spend next year on research into ‘global changes that have resulted primarily from global over-dependence on fossil fuels.’”...and won't we all be waiting on pins and needles to find out what the conclusions of those scientific studies will be.....

Viewed it Ernest as you will see in another post you pinged me. Hopefully the editors and staff at Fox will have the courage to play this one up a bit. At least a few hundred million people may get a slightly better glint into what so many here at this point take for granted in the knowledge on the false pretense of global warming verse natural cycle changes in climate over time.

Saw this before seeing your post and will add it to your thread. It seems Gleick has a plan -- embrace legal action against him to use "discovery" as a fishing expedition into Heartland:

....."Gleick’s lawyer, John Keker, suggested that any legal action by Heartland would become another front in the long-running climate battle.

“Dr. Gleick looks forward to using discovery to understand more about the veracity of the documents, lay bare the implications of Heartland’s propaganda plans and, in particular, determine once and for all who is truly behind Heartland and why,” he wrote in an e-mail."

During the entire video, WSJ cut to video of weather disasters, as if to undermine the points made by the spokesperson from Heartland. No bias there!/s
