re: #290 J. Bastard (Buttland Institute)

Lying for what purpose, in this specific situation?

There was a bit of flippancy in my comment because I’m not really concerned whether the memo was a simple compilation of the other documents or a separate document from Heartland. Their actions are loud enough to convince me they have no compunctions toward lying if it delays fossil use reduction.

Whether an individual from the organization is willing to lie on legal documents, I have no idea, but the documents Heartland admits to are damning enough. If the organization is willing to misrepresent science and scientists, as is obvious in those documents, and Bart is the CEO, well frankly the buck stops with him and he has to assume to reputation of the organization.
