The Heartland Institute was cut off by three more corporate donors
on Monday, further isolating the ultra-conservative thinktank from the
mainstream business world.The defections reinforce the sense of
Heartland's isolation, ahead of its major climate contrarian conference
in Chicago next week. A number of prominent speakers also pulled out of
the conference after Heartland put up a billboard on a Chicago
expressway suggesting believers in climate change were akin to serial killers.In
statements to advocacy groups, pharmaceutical giant Eli Llily, BB&T
bank and PepsiCo confirmed they would not fund Heartland in 2012 –
dealing a blow to the thinktank's plans of building long-term
relationships with major corporations.The three were the latest
in a rush of companies to distance themselves from Heartland after the
ad campaign featuring Unabomber Ted Kaczynski.

These guys are idiots! Every enlightened person knows that the science is settled. Some really smart people in colleges invented computer models that don't really predict anything, but are really cool anyways. Plus, if we give our money to central banks, the planet will cool down because some politicians said so. Get with the program conservo-tards. Like duh.

@quasimodo Agree......... climate change been happening since the crack of dawn of the Earth and will continue until we are a dead planet. No tax will prevent the inevitable happening.... hot/cold always be a cyclic change. If a politician could raise a tax on the premise that it wasn't going to rain for a decade they would. Fuckin' Greens and their conspiracies. 'Let's all have wood stoves....... oh yeah we'll run out of wood..... but it's sustainable', they say, Yeah right!

Gang Green is trying to cover up the fraud perpetrated by the Pacific Institute against Heartland. Global warming alarmists are watching their 'Berlin Wall' fall down around them.

In other news, man made global warming is still recognized as a political hoax.

@kevinm16 CO2 produced by living things has a different chemical signature than CO2 produced by fossil fuels.

lol well...
Logical association exercise here - If Climate Change is truly a program mechanism to further the goals set by the United Nations' "Agenda 21", where population control through hunger management and disease/plague management is used as a tool to cause human population reduction and maintain a lowered homeostasis -- then Ted Kaczynski is too much of an angel to be compared to the horrors we're headed toward under the guise of 'going green' and making 'sustainable cities' a More..

@Jgizzy careful... there is a white van with tinted windows outside of your house, and inside this van are government spies who are keeping track of your keyboard strokes that you are typing into your computer.
