The Heartland Institute does not believe that man is causing climate change. It does not believe that smoking causes lung cancer.
- Oil and gas companies have contributed to the Heartland Institute.
- ExxonMobil donated over $600,000 between 1998 and 2005.
- Heartland has received donations from tobacco companies Philip Morris, Altria and Reynolds American.
- The Heartland Institute pays Robert M. Carter $1,667 per month, (Carter, a professor of geology, not climate science, writes and speaks against climate change).
- Anthony Watts, a meteorologist who disagrees with climate change, received a payment of $90,000 from Heartland.
In their book Merchants of Doubt, Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway wrote that the Heartland Institute was known "for its
- persistent questioning of climate science,
- for its promotion of 'experts' who have done little, if any, peer-reviewed climate research,
- and for its sponsorship of a conference in New York City in 2008 alleging that the scientific community's work on global warming is fake."
In February 2012, leaked documents revealed Heartland's plans to disseminate a new school curriculum aimed at "dissuading teachers from teaching science."
In May 2012, Heartland launched a poster campaign comparing Unabomber and Osama bin Laden to those concerned about global warming. Part of its press release stated:
- "The people who still believe in man-made global warming are mostly on the radical fringe of society. This is why the most prominent advocates of global warming aren't scientists. They are murderers, tyrants, and madmen."
Most people would agree that The Heartland Institute is biased.
