Climate change denial docs from Heartland Inst. are real

Interesting. It says the person posed as someone else to get them, but the docs are indeed real. They are about a strategy by the Heartland inst. to keep climate change out of public education.

It is in interesting situation. I'm wondering if they will follow through on their threat to sue.

It seems that might be counterproductive for them since it would keep the scandal and all of the associated information in the news cycle for much longer. Usually nefarious organizations like this want their bad press to die away.
