1/8》Doc wrote, "You’re not going to change my mind." Please do not be impervious to evidence, like trillionofcells. That would make me sad.

2/8》Doc wrote, "Wasn’t Gleick cleared of any wrongdoing?" No, he was not cleared. That was disinformation from The Grauniad: https://x.com/ncdave4life/status/1669765222515474432… In fact, Gleick eventually admitted the identity theft, and disseminating the forgery & the stolen documents (though only after he was caught & publicly identified). I can see that you didn't read my article about it. You should: https://sealevel.info/Peter_Gleick_DeSmogBlog_and_the_Fakegate_Scandal-Burton.html…

3/8》Gleick never admitted being the forger, but there can be no doubt of that, either. It was the incongruous appearance of his name in the document, with the strangely flattering description of him as a "high-profile climate scientist," in a document which said NOTHING positive about ANY other climate activists, which first drew Steve Mosher's attention to Gleick. But it was the idiosyncrasies of Gleick's own writing style, found in the forged document, which Mosher mostly discussed, when explaining why he believed Gleick wrote it. Mosher explained it, at length, in a series of blog comments, beginning here: http://rankexploits.com/musings/2012/tell-me-whats-horrible-about-this/#comment-89957… Note that that was all BEFORE Gleick confessed to being the person who had impersonated the Heartland Board Member to steal the other documents. THAT iced it: there's no question that Gleick was the forger. (BTW, Mosher used to be with Berkeley Earth.)

4/8》 @The Atlantic did some good reporting on Gleick's crimes, though they didn't give enough attention to DeSmogBlog's role. 2012-2-16: https://web.archive.org/web/20121026003257/https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2012/02/leaked-docs-from-heartland-institute-cause-a-stir-but-is-one-a-fake/253165/#:~:text=Basically%2C%20it%20reads,an%20intern… EXCERPT: The forgery read, “like it was written from the secret villain lair in a Batman comic. By an intern.” –Megan McArdle @Megan McArdle of @The Atlantic

7/8》 Gleick only dodged prison because the Obama-appointed U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of IL stonewalled until the statute of limitations had run out. Heartland produced this presentation in their attempt to persuade him to prosecute Gleick: https://web.archive.org/web/20220405192147/https://www.heartland.org/_template-assets/documents/publications/criminal_referral_of_peter_gleick.pdf…

8/8》 BTW, NewsGuard is very unreliable, too. Here's an excellent article about it: https://wattsupwiththat.com/2023/05/23/regime-climate-censorship-enforcer-newsguard-the-tragic-case-of-zack-fishman/…
