AGU weighs in on Gleick: “AGU is disappointed that Dr. Gleick acted in a way that is inconsistent with our organization’s values.”

“Cojnsistent” == “stonewall”

The only thing inconsistent with this organization’s values (and in which they’re VERY disappointed) is that the dude got caught. They’ve been on the wrong side of the science for decades–as long and I’ve been reading about this whole “climate science” meme.
And for that reason (considering what Taphonomic says about the Earth’s climate having been changing for the past ~4.6 billion years), every one of these people should be required to take a fully curriculum in geology (althogh admitted it didn’t Michael Mann any good–but considering his ego, nothing would have).

In Magoo’s WSJ video link, Bast says they had the request for documents from Gleick impersonating a board member three weeks ago (that would be approximately the 1st of February). Do we know when Heartland actually sent them? Gleick could have had the genuine documents for up to two weeks before releasing them along with the “Strategy” document on the 14th, depending on how timely the Institute responded.
The Gleick Fully Automatic Foot Gun (smoking). The preferred weapon of certain (inter)government agencies. It only takes one bullet, but that’s enough.

I would say that the entire staff involved in so called “climate change” or “Global warming” in any of the Scientific Organizations AAAS, AGU etc and Climate Editors of Scientific Journals such as Nature etc invoved in the AGW scam should be immediately fired and/or replaced

The truth is ” the other guy is doing this so we have to do it” is probably he justification of every evil person in the history of mankind has used to convince himself what he was doing was right. Nobody sees themselves as evil yet they rapidly ascribe to evil and become evil on the justification the opposition is evil.
The memo should serve as a historic example of that kind of thinking. All the evil insinuations. Somebody said it correctly you only see this kind of evil playing out among the bad guys in Batman comics. A complete divorce from reality.
I became an auditor of corporations and held the suspicions of evil corporate intent going in. Boy was I wrong. I found corporations populated with some of the best meaning people in the world. If you can accuse corporations of anything in a stereotypical way its they are like out of control robots. Nobody is really in complete control so they often seem terribly impersonal. But beyond that almost all of them are like your local storekeeper trying to make a good honest living. Surely some fall into this trap that Gleick fell into thinking you have to do more than be honest and get tricky. And thats when all of them get in trouble. Corporations do that less seldom than individuals like we are seeing in this climate political environment. What is this the 3rd or 4th or 5th “gate”? I have lost count! First you have the Saul Alinsky horrible set of morality standards, immoral to the core, and a lot of people advocating them strongly.
Corporations have attorneys and accountants and human relation professionals a list as long as your arm who have been trained in ethics in rich programs of business schools and law schools and they know the difference between right and wrong and that helps keep them on track because the truth is most people try to be honest.
Gleick has it so very wrong about these corporations. Its always possible to be right on an environmental issue or be wrong whether a corporation or just a guy with smoking car. What is right for the environment has been changing a lot over the past 40 years and some people keep up and others do not. But evil intent? Not hardly! And that more than anything that makes this forgery so obvious and makes Gleick who signed the memo by using the email address heartlandinsider as evidence of guilt that he was also the forger; moreso than a slow speed white bronco chase, gun in hand, could ever do. Its not like he thought that the poor guy who he claims sent him memo sent it to the wrong address and he decided to help the hapless guy get it sent to the right addresses and he did it by deciding to assume the forger’s identity. Hope not on your life is that how it came down. There never was a Heartland insider just a single Heartland deceiver. And that guy had been busted in the first place because it was his writing style on the memo. Not a chance is there a different story here.

AGU,
I’m not a scientists. I’m an accountant (CPA). My profession had a scandal known as Enron. We had to cleanup our profession.
Prove it to me that you have the integrity to cleanup your profession and organization.

I said ‘“Cojnsistent” == “stonewall”’ while I wish I had said ‘“Consistent” == “stonewall”’ which might have meant something at the time. But I discovered that error on my way here to say something else–’tis a shame I did say what [sfx=fingers drumming]…..[/sfx]
Oh. Yeah. Somebody (John A ?) quoted somebody else as saying

Who would hesitate to debate, for example, the holocaust with a real holocaust denier? It’d be an easy win.

To which I say “nonsense”. I find arguing with a religionist whose brain has completely ossified (or frozen) to be a waste of time and good will. Somebody famous should have said that like a bear trap, a mind has to be open to do any good.
I have personal experience with people who are genuinely brilliant in other areas (including some that make one think that, for them, AGW devotion would be somewhere between “terribly unlikely” and “impossible”) who genuflect like our President before our enemies.
