    Haemorrhaging Heartland Still in Denial

    May21

    Well the old adage is when you are in a hole, stop digging. Someone though has not told Joe Bast, the head of the Heartland Institute. Poor old Joe is feeling rather sorry that at his time of need his colleagues are deserting him. In a recent blog he criticises one such colleague saying that…

    Eleven Donors Dump Heartland

    May16

    Next week the cream of the world’s climate deniers will descend on Chicago for the Heartland Institute’s latest annual sceptic-fest. The headline for the conference is “Real Science, Real Choices.”  That’s more fact-twisting propaganda from Heartland that has pushed climate denial for years. The Institute was hoping for a bumper conference that would help it…

    Sponsors Dump Heartland After Ad Backfires

    May08

    Last Friday, the long-standing climate denier think tank, the Heartland Institute ran an advert featuring the Unabomber on a billboard in Chicago that read “I still believe in Global Warming? Do you?” The Unabomber advert was going to be followed by images of  Fidel Castro, Osama Bin Laden, and hostage-taker James J. Lee. According to…

    Why Outing Climate Sceptic Funders Matters

    Mar28

    In the UK, David Cameron’s Conservative Government is still reeling from the “Cash for access” sting by the Sunday Times newspaper at the weekend where the Conservative co-party Treasurer, Peter Cruddas was caught promising access to the prime minister, including private dinners, in return for donations of over £250,000. In order to try and damage…

    Yet More Hypocrisy from Heartland

    Mar19

    I have known the leading climate sceptic-watcher, Cindy Baxter, for many years. Once labelled by the Guardian newspaper as the “Antipodean scourge of the oil industry”, Baxter has long been a thorn in the side of those who deny climate change and carry drilling oil regardless of any consequences. And, like many who have watched…

    Climate Denial in Canada’s Classrooms

    Feb29

    More bad news for the climate deniers at the Heartland Institute, which is still badly reeling from the controversial leak of information of its budget and strategy documents. It has now been revealed that an associate of the Institute taught a course at a top Canadian university that contained over 140 false, biased and misleading…

    Hypocritical Heartland Threatens Critics

    Feb20

    The climate sceptic think tank, the Heartland Institute, that last week was the victim of a devastating leak of information, has decided that attack is the best form of defence and has started threatening organisations and websites that published the leaked documents. It is interesting to dissect how Heartland, which has been in crisis mode…

    Climate Sceptics Exposed

    Feb15

    It was not probably the Valentine’s present the leading climate sceptic organisation, the Heartland Institute, was expecting. But after years of exploiting ClimateGate and leaks from climate scientists, yesterday they were on the receiving end of their very own leak. The climate denial watch-dog, DeSmogBlog, was leaked details of Heartland’s strategy and funding documents exposing…

    Time to Come Clean, Lord Lawson

    Jan23

    At the end of last week, the British government launched its long awaited consultation on its proposed regulations of lobbyists. The commitment to introduce a statutory register of lobbyists was made in the Coalition agreement in May 2010 between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. Nearly two years ago, British Prime Minister, David Cameron warned…

    “Everything Koch stood for was a lie”

    Oct04

    Ever since Greenpeace outed the Koch brothers as the largest financiers of climate change denial, the secretive brothers have started getting much more media attention. The fact that they are also major backers of the controversial Tea Party movement – with its loathing of environmental protection and dismissal of climate change – has added to…
