[Kozlowski comment] None of what he says makes sense. The reasons that Mosher and others picked up on Peter Gleick as the author were the style it was written in, the fact that it mentioned Gleick by name, Forbes and how it plays up Heartland, Forbes, Gleick, his competing blogger at Forbes – who are all bit players.

I suspect we will soon have solid evidence that Gleick did indeed write the memo. The man is a fool when it comes to his global warming science and he is a fool when it comes to IT. Printed documents can be traced forensically to individual printers in half a dozen ways. He might have gotten some legal advice to plot a strategy but no one around him is very technical.
