Breaking: Eminent Scientist May be Jailed for Faking Climate Emails

In a sensational public confession a leading climatologist, Peter Gleick has admitted to taking part in a high-profile climate emails forgery that has backfired; says it was done to intentionally injure skeptic foundation.

Britain’s pro-green national daily, ‘The Guardian’ was the first major newspaper to break the news that Dr. Peter Gleick had confessed to unlawfully libeling the prominent climate skeptic supporter, the Heartland Institute (HI). Heartland is a 28-year-old national nonprofit organization with offices in Chicago, Illinois and Washington, DC. Its mission is “to discover, develop, and promote free-market solutions to social and economic problems.”

"Dr. Gleick added he would “not comment on the substance or implications of the materials.” But there can be no doubt that the tone of his letter suggests it was drafted under the direct guidance of an attorney."

If he serves time, those that did not come forward should be hung.

[Cicero]

Guilty.

It is kind of humorous. The lefties criticize the Church for putting Galileo in lock up over academic freedom. Now their own guys are going to jail for trying to squelch academic freedom.

[cripplecreek]

Skepticism is the heart of science.

[rebooted]

Now how about his cohort at Penn State?

[Red_Devil 232]

Absolutely Guilty as a Weasel in the hen house!

[beethovenfan]

His climate is about to change.

I bet it's another scam.

“Science” could never learn anything new if that weren’t the case — if there were not always people who had what they believed was a better theory.

[Sacajaweau]

Well paid liars and schemers!!

[HiTech RedNeck]

As a skeptics organization, it probably is genuine, but probably also has a hard time getting any visibility.

[JRandomFreeper]

those that did not come forward should be hung.

They may well be, considering their brazen behavior.

But even if they are hung, I would prefer that they be hanged. ;)

This socialist democrat fraud specializes in water. Look out for the next socialist scam WATER. The AGW/CO2 hoax is dead. Long life the next hoax will be their motto. That’s how these socialists make their living.

Einstein believed in the now discredited crustal displacement theory. It was outside his area of expertise but it was a widely accepted theory in the 1930s.

When he theorized that gravity bent light, he didn't try to crush those who tried to disprove it. He sat back and waited and others ended up proving him right. I suspect he would be quite pleased to find that even today there are people trying to prove him wrong on relativity.

The entire left agenda reminds me of Revenge of the Nerds...without the comedy, of course!!!

[norton]

Well said.

The science is too important to not make up!!

The devil made him do it.

The Galileo story everyone “knows” is so distorted as to have achieved the status of myth.
