The funding and strategy plans of the Heartland Institute – one of the most influential think tanks campaigning against climate change and green policies – have been revealed. The extensive documents were obtained by teh DeSmogBlog website which scrutinises industry's efforts to discredit climate science. It was not immediately possible to verify the authenticity of the documents, although when approached by the Guardian newspaper yesterday the think tank failed to challenge their veracity. The US think tank's plans include a strategy for 2012, minutes of boards meetings and a budget, which reveals plans to raise more than $7m (£4.5m) in 2012. About $100,000 from an anonymous donor was set aside for an alternate school curriculum painting established climate science as "controversial and uncertain" with the aim of "dissuading teachers from teaching science".
