AP useful idiot Seth Borenstein claims that there are "sensational parts" somewhere in the non-fake FakeGate documents
INFLUENCE GAME: Leaks show group's climate efforts :: WRAL.com
WASHINGTON — 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....
Heartland is one of the loudest voices denying man-made global warming, hosting the largest international scientific conference of skeptics on climate change. Several of its documents were leaked this week to the news media, showing the planning and money behind its efforts. Heartland said some of the documents weren't accurate, but declined to be more specific.
...The most sensational parts of the documents — and much of what has been confirmed independently — had to do with global warming and efforts to spread doubt into what mainstream scientists are saying. Experts long have thought Heartland and other groups were working to muddy the waters about global warming, said Harry Lambright, a Syracuse University public policy professor who specializes in environment, science and technology issues.
"Scientifically there is no controversy. Politically, there is a controversy because there are political interest groups making it a controversy," Lambright said. "It's not about science. It's about politics. To some extent they are winning the battle."

Borenstein is sure the Climategate emails don’t amount to much because he asked global warming believers if they now admitted they were wrong.
AP’s Seth Borenstein is just too damn cozy with the people he covers – time for AP to do something about it | Watts Up With That?
