guardian
that the heartland institute
which is a uh... right wing think-tank based in chicago
long pushed it misinformation about
climate change
uh... has lost so many mails and uh... listen
mistakenly
sent some emails to a third party
that it didn't mean to
uh... i should also say they're claiming that
some of the documents are real
and some of them are fake
you know that always happens
someone gets emailed
documents that they shouldn't have and then they also go fake some more
one of the things revealed in these documents
is that they have a one anonymous donor
who has given this and to the more than eight
million dollars between two thousand seven in two thousand
d_e_s_ donate three point three million the same year that her heartland began
its annual climate change conference
this guy
really
really doesn't believe in climate change
more precisely really wants to convince other people the climate changes now
there was a nother document
we h
says the harlan is developing a global warming curriculum for keith to twelve
classrooms
in this document which i think that this is the one that her own says is fake
uh... principals and teachers are heavily biased towards the alarmist
perspective
to counter this we're considering launching an effort to develop
alternative materials for k through twelve classrooms we're pursuing a
proposal from day-to-day doctor david what o_j_ etc
to produce is a global warming curriculum for cater twelve schools
what it is a consultant with the office of scientific and technical information
at the u_s_ department of energy
in the area of information and communication science
his effort will focus on bron providing correct on that shows a topic a climate
change is consular akak controversial and uncertain
two key points that are affect of the actives waiting teachers from teaching
science
i don't know where women don't want to hang and and and and and and elbow
we tentatively plan to pay doctor will do it one hundred thousand
dollars
for twenty modules in twenty twelve with funding placed by the anonymous donor
in addition
heartland paid a team of writers three hundred me eighty eight thousand in
twenty eleven to write a series of reports
to undermine
not
refute
not
analyze
not to
show flaws in
but simply to undermine the official united nations
hi pcc reports which are reports by literally hundreds of thousands of
scientists around the world
who say that there is a ninety five percent chance ninety eight percent
chance
that uh... global warming is man
there
i'm not a bet on the other four percent
was gonna let it flies
and instead of spending a dollar on a lottery ticket
i'm just gonna bet the future of the planet
with about the same arts
heartland incidentally at confirms that it mistakenly email these uh... internal
documents
but then goes on to allege that one of these documents i guess that is a fic
so uh... we shall see
but it is just one more indication
that there are some very rich people
you know this story is not much different from the drone story
you have corporate interests
essentially
incentivize
bad
policy
in this country and that matter around the world
