[Climate scientist] Peter Gleick Admits to Deception in Obtaining Heartland Climate Files

[padruig]

6. "I'm shocked, shocked to find gambling going on in this establishment!

I appreciate everyone's concern about the reputation of Peter Gleick but to quote the journal Nature

"scientists must acknowledge that they are in a street fight" [1]

Dr. Gleick's reputation will rebound much more quickly than the raveling of schemes and intrigues we have been subject to from the Heartland Institute and the long list of denial, obfuscation and outright threats. [1]

When I read the next journal article from Gleick, I won't be thinking "this is the guy who miss-represented himself to Heartland." I will examine read his abstract, examine his methods, download the supplementary materials and decide on the merits of the data and all other facts the value of the conclusions presented.

If any climate skeptic wants to make a name for him or herself, they should consider finding fault with Fourier, Tyndall or Arrhenius.
