Medusa Institute
Dr. Judith Curry during a recent radio interview and subsequently in one of her blog posts claimed that Heartland is a small player. She also believes that Anthony Watts and Steve McIntyre have more influence over the climate discussion than Heartland and its personnel. Look at the next picture and decide who you think has more influence over the really important people – policy makers and business leaders. (Hint: Heartland’s President agrees with me. See Dr. Curry’s post to read his chest-puffing message to her.)

It takes too much time and effort to parse and filter Dr Judith Curry.

[…] The fake science pushed by Heartland Institute has been a top story for the past two weeks and it should be. Heartland Institute has been engaged in science misinformation for years and has even stooped to trying to teach fake science to our school kids. Tom Harris, a Heartland Expert, is using the same playbook up in Canada. (Unfortunately, Heartland is just one snake on the head of Medusa.) […]
