Heartland Institute strategy and funding details exposed

For those who have yet to hear the news, the Heartland Institute, an infamous US think tank (now there's an oxymoron) had their climate change denialism programme exposed recently when blogger DeSmogBlog received (from a third party) then posted documents produced by the Heartland Institute.

Among the documents were details relating to strategy and funding, including a list of donors and a breakdown of the funding of some well-known climate denialists such as Fred Singer, Robert Carter and others.

Rather than repeat all the evidence here, the full story can be found at DeSmogBlog. The Heartland Institute has threatened legal action against at least two bloggers to date.

As developments occur in coming weeks I will post updates.
