In the immediate aftermath of Peter Gleick’s confession<\/a>, reaction was passionate and wide-ranging<\/a>. The news dominated the climate blogosphere for weeks, with every climate blog having something to say on the matter (with the conspicuous exception of RealClimate<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The story was also dutifully covered in the mainstream media. The first wave\u00a0focused <\/a>on Gleick’s admission. The second wave was the response<\/a> to it. Any stories that followed after that mostly reported on the\u00a0repercussions<\/a> to Gleick. Since then, no reporters on the climate beat have seemed eager to follow up on the most<\/a>\u00a0dubious<\/a>\u00a0angle to the whole story.<\/p>\n

https://www.mytravelstudio.com/expensive-cakes-world/ That brings me to this\u00a0post<\/a> by Steve McIntyre, which compares the Gleick affair to Watergate and some of its principal characters. McIntyre writes:<\/p>\n

https://drreddyfamilydoctors.com/insurance-accepted/ Much recent commentary has characterized Gleick as a “hero”\u009d, some invoking [Daniel] Ellsberg as a precedent. But a closer examination of Watergate events shows that Gleick’s conduct is more evocative of Howard Hunt and Gordon Liddy than of Ellsberg.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

https://prsaboston.org/our-ethics-officer/ It’s worth noting that\u00a0Liddy<\/a> went on to fame and fortune, with his best-selling book<\/a> and syndicated radio show<\/a>. He has also been lionized by the right wing in the United States.<\/p>\n

It’s too early to say what lies ahead for Gleick. So far, the story of his entanglement with the Heartland Institute is what he has written<\/a>. It’s not clear to me that any reporters are interested in pursuing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
