Heartland Memo Looking Faker By the Minute - Megan McArdle - National - The Atlantic

I have a strong suspicion that [the FakeGate document creator(s)] refrained from commenting on the document dump.  That's what I'd do, anyway.  A commenter or email correspondent who suddenly disappeared when they normally would have been reveling in this sort of story is a good candidate.

Did anyone else notice that Peter Gleick suddenly disappeared when he normally would have been reveling in this sort of story?

Heartland Institute Rebuts Outlandish New York Times Story on Stolen and Fake Documents

It’s astounding that this would appear in a “news” story. We are not “attacking climate science,” we are defending it from advocates of an unrelated social and economic agenda. The Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate change (NIPCC) does not  “host lavish annual conferences.” I’m not sure it has ever held a conference. Heartland, though, has hosted 6 international conferences. And the only organization that calls these conferences “Denialpalooza” is DeSmogBlog, which is not an environmental group but a for-profit PR firm created to attack conservatives and libertarians.

Hah. 188+ comments in that Atlantic Article and I'm the only one who pointed out that Gleick probably did it. Thanks for pointing out the Twitter feed.
