Basically a bunch of files from Heartland were leaked and showed that they were trying to teach schoolkids that climate change wasn't real.

Oh, and some irony.

EDIT: Could a Mod merge this with the earlier one? Thanks.

But...but...but...CLIMATEGATE!  ALGORE!  MANBEARPIG! 

You mean the honest, open grassroots opposition to the Climate Change Conspiracy (only lightly funded by oil company thinktanks and championed by former tobacco company lobbyists) are fibbing to us all?
