In many ways Gleick has done better than Hansen in terms of developing sophisticated policy analysis, especially in water policy, and he's still doing it. Getting involved in politics and policy speaks well of Gleick. As for the Heartland thing, I think I agree with Gleick's own self-assessment.<br /><br />The Michael Tobis link that Eli posts above notes all the work that John Mashey did on Heartland, using publicly available info. That may not have been enough to sink them, but should have been.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09301230860904555513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-7422651658495229802013-02-18T16:59:51.665-05:002013-02-18T16:59:51.665-05:00I hate to interrupt, but I'd like to point out...I hate to interrupt, but I'd like to point out to Eli that his use of Gopnik's article is somewhat problematic.

Which should perhaps be a clue to HI as to the value of their case.<br /><br />While I do not agree with Gleicks methods, the Heartland Institute has been revealed to be quite the underhanded lobbying group as a result, and whether or not P. Gleick's methods were legal or ethical, the facts about HI will remain in public view. Which I can only consider a good result from poor choices.
