Surf’s Up: The Web’s Best Reading of Heartland Scandal
Reactions are still coming in to the latest twists in the scandal involving leaked documents detailing the activities and funding of the Heartland Institute, a free-market think tank that has worked to spread doubt about the existence and severity of manmade climate change. The confession by climate researcher Peter Gleick that he obtained and leaked the documents has prompted much soul-searching throughout the climate science and policy communities.
