Proven hoax: Heartland Institute published 500 Scientists with Documented Doubts of Man-Made
Global Warming Scares.

http://www.desmogblog.com/500-scientists-with-documented-doubts-about-the-heartland-institute

"The article, by Hudson Institute director and Heartland "Senior Fellow" Dennis T. Avery (inset), purports to list scientists whose work contradicts the overwhelming scientific agreement that human-induced climate change is endangering the world as we know it.

DeSmogBlog manager Kevin Grandia emailed 122 of the scientists yesterday afternoon, calling their attention to the list. So far - in less than 24 hours - three dozen of those scientists had responded in outrage, denying that their research supports Avery's conclusions and demanding that their names be removed.

This is a brief taste of some of the responses that have been copied to the DeSmogBlog so

I am horrified to find my name on such a list. I have spent the last 20 years arguing the opposite."

Dr. David Sugden. Professor of Geography, University of Edinburgh

2. Who finances the Heartland Institute?
Follow the money and make them pay. I think the scientists might have a libel action.

Check out ExxonMobil's big role in the institute.
