Denialgate Whistleblower Verifies Heartland's Plans to Lobby & Teach Kids Lies on Climate Change

Scientist Peter Glick authenticated the documents revealing Heartland Institute's plans to propagandize American school children with corporate-funded lies on climate change, admitting he leaked the documents which he had received directly from them.

I can explicitly confirm, as can the Heartland Institute, that the documents they emailed to me are identical to the documents that have been made public. I made no changes or alterations of any kind to any of the Heartland Institute documents or to the original anonymous communication.

Glick, President of the Pacific Institute, explained that an anonymous tip led him to act as investigative journalist. Unfortunately, in my opinion, Glick apologizes for making the selfless decision to expose Heartland's illegal lobbying disguised as educational activities. Heartland fraudulently claims non-profit status, in my opinion, using taxpayer subsidies to promote positions that protect profits of its corporate sponsors. Ironically, Heartland poses as libertarian while it depends on non-profit status subsidies from taxpayers. Glick lied to Heartland to expose their involvement in a conspiracy to teach lies to children and defraud taxpayers. In my opinion that was a difficult decision to make, but not an unethical one. Journalists and police commonly use deceptive means to expose criminal wrong doing and society rewards them for it. IMO, Glick should not apologize for revealing apparent illegal lobbying by an organization with non-profit status. The public has a right to know.
