"I confess to wondering whether he doesn't have some sort of underlying medical condition."
2/22/12, "Fakegate Illustrates Global Warming Alarmists' Deceit and Desperation," Forbes, James Taylor
"The real story in this Fakegate scandal is how the global warming movement is desperate, delusional and collapsing as global warming fails to live up to alarmist predictions. People with sound science on their side do not need to forge documents to validate their arguments or make the other side look bad. Also, people who are so desperate as to forge documents in an attempt to frame their rivals are clearly not above forging scientific data, studies and facts to similarly further their cause."...

2/22/12, "Another Global Warming Advocate Caught Falsifying The Truth," IBD
"There are no laws that say that the global warming alarmists can't feel strongly about their beliefs. There are, however, ethical lines. And they keep crossing them.
The history of the Great Global Warming Scare is filled with exaggerations, deceit, unnecessary hype and cover-up.
It's all OK, say the alarmists, because they are concerned with the greater good, and if they have to cheat a bit, well, then the ends justify their means....
It should never be forgotten that the climate-alarmist community will break rules, injudiciously cross ethical lines and run a cheap con to push its left-wing agenda. He and the movement he represents deserve stiff punishment."----------------------------------
2/21/12, What are the depths of Peter Gleick’s depravity in the Heartland global warming smear attack? [UPDATED]
--------------------------------
2/22/12, "The Most Surprising Heartland Fact: Not the Leaks, but the Leaker," The Atlantic, M. McArdle
"Impersonating an actual person is well over the line that any reputable journalist needs to maintain. I might try to get a job at a Food Lion to expose unsafe food handling. I would not represent myself as a health inspector, or the regional VP. I don't do things that are illegal--at least, not things that are illegal in the stable western democracy in which I live....
And ethics aside, what Gleick did is insane for someone in his position--so crazy that I confess to wondering whether he doesn't have some sort of underlying medical condition that requires urgent treatment. The reason he did it was even crazier. I would probably have thrown that memo away. I might have spent a few hours idly checking it out. I would definitely not have risked jail or personal ruin over something so questionable, and which provided evidence of . . . what? That Heartland exists? That it has a budget? That it spends that budget promoting views which Gleick finds reprehensible? "....
