The Heartland Institute cries foul as Gleick is invited back to work<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
After a three-month internal investigation, Pacific Institute president Peter Gleick has been cleared of further wrongdoing in the Heartland Institute scandal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The announcement that Peter Gleick has been reinstated as president of the Pacific Institute was met with an outcry from the Heartland Institute<\/a>, which has vowed to press ahead in its effort to prosecute the noted scientist for fraud.<\/p>\n

In February, Gleick admitted he had faked his identity<\/a> to obtain internal documents from the conservative think-tank.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Pacific Institute\u2019s board of directors has failed to perform its duty and should be deeply ashamed,\u201d said Heartland president Joseph Bast in a statement<\/a> released today. \u201cWe have asked the federal government to prosecute Gleick for what we believe were serious crimes he committed, and we await its decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gleick took a leave of absence from the Oakland-based Pacific Institute in February, as an independent internal investigation began looking into allegations that he had given a false name to Heartland, and also manufactured a document containing detailed strategy information on Heartland’s national effort to downplay climate science.<\/p>\n

While the Pacific Institute has not released any documents detailing the specifics of the investigation, it has cleared him of any further wrongdoing.
\n<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Gleick has apologized publicly for his actions, which are not condoned by the Pacific Institute and run counter to the Institute\u2019s policies and standard of ethics over its 25-year history,\u201d read a statement released yesterday by the Oakland-based group<\/a>. \u201cThe Board of Directors accepts Dr. Gleick\u2019s apology for his lapse in judgment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heartland, which has dubbed the incident \u201cFakegate,\u201d<\/a> maintains that the document outlining the group\u2019s strategy \u2013 which Gleick asserted he received “in the mail” from a company insider \u2013 is a forgery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
