Background : ownership of words - See even in this Chicago Post pro-Heartland news article the publishers have reached for Climate Change clipart & put a photo of a smokey chimney so framing the story as being about dirty air & pollution. - and why do they use the word "leaker" wrongly ? I can only think it's a product of the steady "hammer hitting the nail" effect as he's seen that used so many times on warmist websites : They have managed successfully to frame the debate, by claiming ownership of the word leak. If you give a faked document to the press that is not a leak, is it ?

The Same Delegitimization Tactics Used Before - "clear the way" for your own agenda by deflecting attention at your opponents with a smear Just Another Day at Team Green : Greenpeace nightly stealing from Washington garbage bins to gather material for a smear campaign. - Producing a report misrepresenting views of others before publishing their own book : A declaration about a lack of consensus over the ‘likelihood, extent, or even reality of human-induced global warming’, in the hands of the authors, becomes a denial of scientific consensus over the ‘existence of global warming.’ - There seems to be a whole book about it "If global warming really is as definitively certain as its enthusiasts insist, why do they resort to threats, intimidation, and outright lies against its opponents? Are these tactics consistent with the environmentalists' image as philanthropic, self-sacrificing earth-lovers? Doesn't their desperation reflect a fundamental weakness in the truth of their arguments and the soundness of their proposals?" - A review said "Do you know what's happening to the children at schools? They are being indoctrinated. In fact, they are expected to revolt against their parents who "cause global warming". Because the children have to watch scientifically unrealistic horror movies related to the climate, such as An Inconvenient Truth, many of them don't sleep well at night." - I know nothing about US schools, but isn't this exactly what the Green Blogs are accusing Heartland of. What Type of Climate Blogs win all the Awards ? - Story saying Google was going to bias "Climate Change" search results - This maybe a reason that haven't been successful 2012 Bloggies all the Pro Science anti-hysteria websites have won on almost every continent. - This guy has a lot more info on Google & Wikipedia hiding objective Climate Change reporting .. sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory.. judge for yourself
