Fakegate: Gleick fesses up « The Daily Bayonet
DeSmogBlog is calling Gleick a whistleblowing hero, but their own reputation is so tarnished it likely won’t be enough to save his position at the Pacific Institute. Many of the scientific associations and groups to which Gleick belongs will have to jettison him too, or risk having their own ethics called into question.
Fakegate isn’t quite over yet. Gleick has not admitted to writing the fake memo, so there’s that loose end to tie up.
The green movement hasn’t suffered an own goal this serious since the 10:10 splattergate movie. On Valentines Day just last week, Peter Gleick was a respected scientist and activist and the Heartland Institute was a privately-funded bogeyman that warmists claimed distributed untold amounts of money into a ‘well-organized climate denial machine.’
Seven days later, we know Peter Gleick is a radical activist who abandoned any pretense of ethics to bring down the ‘opposition’ that frustrated him, and that Heartland’s actual budget is tiny when compared to the big green NGO’s.
Nice work, hippies.
