FakeGate turns Real! Warmist Peter Gleick Admits to Deception in Obtaining Heartland Climate Files — ‘Leaves his reputation in ruins & threatens to undercut the cause’

NYT’s Revkin unloads on Peter Gleick! ‘Gleick’s use of deception in pursuit of his cause after years of calling out climate deception has destroyed his credibility and harmed others’

pgleick@pipeline.com – Revkin: ‘One way or the other, …That is his personal tragedy and shame (and I’m sure devastating for his colleagues, friends and family)’…His admitted acts of deception in acquiring the cache of authentic Heartland documents surely will sustain suspicion that he created the summary, which Heartland’s leadership insists is fake’

Warmist Gleick: ‘In a serious lapse of my own & professional judgment & ethics, I solicited & received additional materials directly from Heartland under someone else’s name’ pgleick@pipeline.com – Gleick blames skeptics for making him to commit criminal acts!? ‘My judgment was blinded by my frustration with ongoing efforts — often anonymous, well-funded, & coordinated — to attack climate science & scientists & prevent this debate, & by lack of transparency of orgs involved. Nevertheless I deeply regret my own actions in this case. I offer my personal apologies to all those affected’

Flashback May 2011: Warmist Peter Gleick angry at Climate Depot’s Morano for exposing his unscientific tornado/climate claims – ‘Gleick lashes out at ‘the misrepresentations of deniers like Morano’ and then claims ‘there IS a connection: not of attribution, but of consequences’

Warmist turned almost skeptic Prof. Judith Curry: ‘My first interaction with Gleick was he invited me to speak in an AGU session that he was organizing on integrity of science’ — Curry: Gleick ‘made it known to me via email that he has been displeased with my ‘behavior.’ I seem to have gotten his goat to have been mentioned in the fake Heartland strategy doc (hard to believe that he didn’t write this)…The irony of it all, this coming from a scientist that has made a particular point about integrity and written many essays and even testified to congress on the subject’

Statement by The Heartland Institute on Gleick Confession: ‘Gleick’s crime was a serious one’ – ‘The documents he admits stealing contained personal information about Heartland staff members, donors, and alliesk…A mere apology is not enough to undo the damage…Many independent commentators already have concluded the memo was most likely written by Gleick. We hope Gleick will make a more complete confession in the next few days’

Meteorologist Watts to Gleick: ‘You have damaged me and my business. I suspect I’ll be seeing you in court to protect my rights, along with many others, sir’

FakeGate to GleickGate: Gleick has lots of explaining to do: ‘His answer doesn’t quite put all the pieces together. The fake document has a timestamp just prior to DeSmog and others releasing it…’ ‘…so it is not the ‘anonymous document’ he refers too…These stolen and fraudulent documents don’t tell us anything about the planetary climate, but they do tell us how comfortable the alarmist PR team is to cheat and lie’

Gleickgate: ‘Doesn’t seem like bottom’s been reached on this story’

Gleick’s story not believed: ‘I do not believe this statement. I think he stole the board packet and, since he didn’t find the incriminating material he wanted, he made it up! It’s a lot simpler as an explanation, and it accounts for all the known facts’

FakeGate Morphs to GleickGate: Who is Peter Gleick? ‘In 2001, Gleick was dubbed a “visionary on the environment” by the British Broadcasting Corporation’

WSJ: The Not-So-Vast Conspiracy: ‘Stolen documents show the tiny budget of global warming skeptics’ ‘Heartland will spend all of $388,000 this year on Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change. That’s against the $6.5 million that the U.N. IPCC costs Western taxpayers annually, and the $2.6 billion the White House wants to spend next year on research into ‘the global changes that have resulted primarily from global over-dependence on fossil fuels’

‘Koch Foundation provided $25,000 to Heartland Inst. in 2011 for research in healthcare — not climate change, & this was first & only donation Foundation made to institute in more than a decade’

Heartland sends out first legal notice about stolen and faked documents: ‘Publication of this falsified document is improper and unlawful’

FakeGate backfires on Warmists: ‘If the skeptics’ conspiracy was real, why fake the evidence?’ ‘The problem with the great international conspiracy of climate skeptics is that it’s so small and innocent that a disappointed warmist who steals documents from the Heartland Institute finds they must fake the main one to get media attention. Sounds a bit like their tree-ring research’

Flashback 2002: Exxon-Led Group Is Giving a Climate Grant to Stanford U. — $225 million over 10 years for research on ways to meet growing energy needs without worsening global warming’

Flashback 2000: BP, FORD GIVE $20 MILLION FOR PRINCETON U. EMISSIONS STUDY: ‘to study ways to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions from fossil fuels. BP said it will give $15 million…BP plans to give $85 million in next decade to universities in U.S. and U.K. to study environmental and energy issues…pledged $40 million to Cambridge U. $20 million to U. of California at Berkeley and $10 million to U.y of Colorado at Boulder’
