Heartland Institute's Leaked Documents Reveal Climate Skepticism Efforts

WASHINGTON (AP) — Leaked documents from a prominent conservative think tank show how it sought to teach schoolchildren skepticism about global warming and planned other behind-the-scenes tactics using millions of dollars in donations from big corporate names.

More than $14 million of the money used by the Chicago-based Heartland Institute would come from one anonymous man, according to the leaked documents prepared for a meeting of the group's board.

Thing is, I have no problem with someone expressing skepticism in the absence of supporting evidence.  However, when they attempt to push a manufactured point of view which has poor if any corroboration on School Children?!?  THAT just went over the line!  I sincerely hope the Heartland Institute get their pants pulled down in public BIG TIME!

The ones who should be most ashamed are those scientists who whore for them. They, at least, have enough training to know that they are pushing lies.
