Sorry guys, no more Heartland Institute conferences | Grist
[Jess Zimmerman] Denialist think tank the Heartland Institute likes to have all its besties over once a year to watch movies, braid each other’s hair, and talk about how they don’t believe in science or, when it comes down to it, really know what it is. Well, I have bad news for journalists looking for telling quotes, and for people like Lord Monckton who don’t get invited to any other parties: This year’s shindig was the last one for the foreseeable future...So many funders walked out over that one that Heartland doesn’t have the money to put on its annual Jerkapalooza anymore.
Oh, denialists — will you never again go to the ball? Perhaps your fairy godmother will come and save you. She’s at least as plausible as the other things you believe in.

Editor of Grist List, but tweets are mostly about feminism, nerd stuff, and dogs. I say lots of swears and I hope you do too.
It shows just how weak their argument is when they gloat over Heartland. According to them, the climate agenda has been stymied by an organization that no longer has enough money for a conference. At the same time, they have conferences held in exotic places costing millions and BILLIONS more in funding, yet one little organization had all this power. It couldn't be overcome by their arguments or their huge war chests. Wow,what an admission.
