give them time, at the rate they are going, people will relate that entire crowd to that of the homeless guy who sits on the street corner with an "end of the world is near" sign.
And by breaking the law, taking a big hit to the little bit of credibility that is left, what did they find? That Big Oil is funding AGW by super huge margins compared to AGW skeptics, and that the evil arch-nemesis Koch Industries contributed $0.00 to Heartland's anti-AGW activites.

The warmists always parrot the "Big Oil funds skepticism see!" line but for every dollar Big Oil spends on climate skepticism, they spend $1000 on AGW related activities

Yeah, there is NO comparison between the two. By a landslide, the alarmists take the cake in funding.

One of the reasons the fake document was identified as just that was the "mistake" made by the faker regarding the Koch brothers funding.

Yep, and that is a common fallacy used in the arguments of many AGW promoters to avoid dealing with any conflicting research or information. It is a political response entirely.

The unethical and criminal aspect aside of his actions, how stupid do you have to be to pull a stunt like this and think 1) people will buy the blatant forge 2) they won't find out who did it?

It is no wonder they run from any form of scientific debate, they don't seem to have the intellectual ability to even argue a position. I guess it explains why they resort to such tactics. /shrug

Only those who worship at the altar of AGW/MMCC believe in it anymore. The rest of us who have 2 braincells and don't have an agenda know all this is fake, and never about the environment at all
