“Basically, it reads like it was written from the secret villain lair in a Batman comic. By an intern.”

First, the Climategate emails were real, all too real. Heartland's wee cache of documents included one ham-handed, too goofy-for-words, fake. The Atlantic's Megan McArdle, a self-admitted really big fan of climatology's star figures and no lover of Heartland, analyzed the "2012 Heartland Climate Strategy" document and concluded that "Basically, it reads like it was written from the secret villain lair in a Batman comic. By an intern."

She added, "It's more like [whomever faked the document] sat down at the computer and said, 'What would I write IF I WERE AS CRAZY AS AGW SKEPTICS?'" She characterized other sections of that work of creative fiction as "sheer lunacy."

I suspect it was Richard Littlemore of Desmog Blog / Hoggan PR / David Suzuki. It was done on the west coast - Hoggan is in British Columbia). (wasn't very well written, not disguised, is ham handed which is Littlemore's style - he's not very bright and this the global warming scam is his only way to make a lot of money with no work.
Suzuki Foundation is being examined by Canada Revenue for conducting "lobbying" activity which is against the non-profit act.
It is possible that some of these non-profit funds were used to pay Hoggan which might be used for Desmog.
