When documents from Heartland Institute went public, showing strategy and funding for various climate-related research and advocacy projects, some folks immediately hailed it as a scandal to compare with the "Climate-gate" email embarrassment of sometime back. "Denier-gate" and even "Heartland-gate" were the hastily suffixed monikers for the news story.
But then it was discovered that the leak was the result of an inquiry made by a major climate-change activist, Peter Gleick, who had been slipped some allegedly damning documents and asked Heartland for more information . . . posing as a member of the group's board of directors.
