Right. Heritage. Another pimp for creationism. I know that’s not their primary focus but “it’s in there.” Yeah, it’s magic and “trees pollute.” Uh huh.

Yep.

The Heritage Foundation, a once-influential conservative think tank, has lost its grip on reality. Mike Gonzalez, Vice President of Communications for Heritage, believes that the scientific consensus on global warming is a massive hoax, perpetrated because of “politicians putting pressure on scientists to come up with theories that would vastly add to their regulatory and taxing powers.” Gonzalez — who abandoned print journalism to become a mid-level speechwriter for the Bush administration — argues that the “whole edifice of global warming is now falling apart” because the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is like a birthday-party magician

Heritage was also one of the primary disseminators of wingnut misinformation on HCR this summer.
