What BS. Gleick has been publicly accused of forgery. He should sue and bring those mythical secrets out. You're just another irrational conspiracy monger. Like Gleick and Michael Mann.

Scientist admits taking, leaking think-tank papers Feb 22 03:06 PM US/Eastern By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer Comments (1) Email to a friend Share on Facebook Tweet this WASHINGTON (AP) - Ethicists are criticizing a prominent scientist for misrepresenting himself to obtain and then leak sensitive documents from a conservative think tank that campaigns against mainstream global warming science. Peter Gleick (GLEEK), president of a California water research institute and winner of a MacArthur genius grant, admitted Monday night in a blog posting that he pretended to be a board member to get fundraising, budget and other documents from the Heartland Institute in Chicago. He said he then sent the documents to the media. Gleick not only is prominent as an advocate of mainstream global warming science, writing articles for the popular press, but he chaired a scientific society's ethics panel as well. Last week, before revealing his document theft, he resigned as ethics committee chairman of the American Geophysical Union. Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
