Heartland Institute is also very much in the forefront of the climate
change (aka global warming) denial movement, and is funded by numerous
extremely conservative foundations, such as the Scaife Foundations,
which also funded the highly corrosive "Arkansas Project" durning the
Clinton administration, the John M Olin Foundation, and Walton Family
Foundation.  It was funded by ExxonMobil between 1998 and 2005,
according to Source Watch.

When Heartland speaks, I generally turn the page.
