re: #72 LudwigVanQuixote

I’d like him to reply to the question about how much they pay their experts. He admitted to it…

For a director of communications, jlakely’s writing style doesn’t exactly exude scintillating, concise clarity (Or is that deliberate? Overwhelm people with a wall of text in the hopes they’ll just assume you know what you’re talking about?)

At any rate, what I gathered from his first comment was this:

- He admits to the honorarium for conference speakers while trying to gloss over it as normal and widespread (see Obdicut’s #73 for rebuttal)

- He claims Ivar Giaever is “among more than 200 unpaid “policy advisors” for Heartland.” (Not sure why he put “policy advisors” in scare quotes - is that an admission of a different sort?)

And on a side note, fascinating that he had no response to your original post’s mention of Heartland defending US businesses who use overseas child and slave labor. It would be nice if jlakely (in addition to AGW denial) also stops being a child labor endorsing, pro-slavery freak :)
