Peter Gleick, environmental activist and president of the Pacific Institute for Studies in Development, Environment, and Security, admitted Monday that he had posed as someone else in order to obtain confidential materials from the Heartland Institute, a libertarian think tank in Chicago that challenges the accuracy of the theory of manmade global warming.
According to the New York Times:
Dr. Gleick distributed the documents to several well-known bloggers and activists who support the work of mainstream climate scientists and who have denounced the Heartland Institute as a center of climate change denial. The document release, which lit up the Internet last week, was cast by some bloggers as the work of a whistle-blowing Heartland employee or ex-employee who had access to internal papers, when it was in fact orchestrated by Dr. Gleick, a Yale- and Berkeley-trained scientist and environmental activist who says that he was frustrated with Heartland’s anti-climate-change programs.
The implosion continues. I read where the cold weather we've seen here the last few years was reported in a study from some yahoo's in australia the fault of lower than normal clouds or some nonsense. The sky is falling. LOL.
Your asking an awful lot of folks to actually read something they respond to especially if they bat fromt he left side of the plate. Squealing about sources is their first reaction to about anything unless it's from one of their handlers.

very true, guess if it would have came from the DU, they would have been screaming that it is the gods truth.
Good for him if he actually opened up the think tank's propaganda.
His own colleagues that might agree with his scientific theories on man made global are damning his actions and stating the files he released look to be faked or altered.
