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.”

AGW/ClimateChange, or whatever they’re calling it this week, is finally beginning to circle to drain! The biggest tax scam in recorded history is finally being exposed to the masses as having nothing to do with science.

Parking this here.

Nicki is Gleick’s wife of some 29 years.
“...Community in the Classroom is a program of Community Resources for Science (CRS), a Berkeley group that encourages scientists to volunteer in local schools. CRS encourages educators to work together to “excite all children about learning through the scientific exploration of the world around them.”
CRS was founded in 1997 by Nicki Norman and Anne Jennings to overcome barriers that elementary teachers face in teaching science and to promote awareness of the science resources in the Bay Area...”

Possibly Heartland moving into education of children hit too close to home?
