The Heatland Institute

lundi 27 février 2017 à 01:00

Leaked documents show how the Heatland Institute operates to promote denial of global heating, and that this is one of its priority missions.

The organization calls itself the "Heartland" Institute, but "Heatland" describes it more accurately. The organization describes itself as "libertarian", but I won't call it that. Global heating denialism has nothing to do with liberty, and little to do with the views of the people that call themselves "libertarians", since most of them are not denialists.

However, I have decided not to refer to them as "libertarians", since I reject their claim to support liberty more than I do. Their basic philosophy is that the state should not actively help people have better lives.

Since they call all state programs to help people "socialist", I am thinking of calling them "antisocialists".
