Is heartland.org Safe?

The heartland Institute (heartland.org) have a documented reputation for being clandestinely financed by a Who’s Who of the fossil fuel industry and for publishing misinformation relating to climate change and global warming. https://search.wikileaks.org/?query=“heartland+institute”&include_external_sources=True&new_search=True&order_by=most_relevant#results https://skepticalscience.com/news.php?p=2&t=260&&n=1294 https://www.theguardian.com/environment/blog/2012/feb/15/leaked-heartland-institute-documents-climate-scepticism https://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/16/science/earth/in-heartland-institute-leak-a-plan-to-discredit-climate-teaching.html https://sciencefeedback.co/?s=Heartland

This site is an American conservative and libertarian organization which promotes conspiracy theory, political disinformation, gossip, rumour and innuendo for the sake of corporate clients. This site is not a legitimate source of news, science or medical information. See: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/heartland-institute/ and: https://forum.mywot.com/reputation-discussions-f5/heartland-org-and-stoppingsocialism-com-a-toxic-co-t96043.html Untrustworthy.

This is one of the best sites for understanding the politics and science of all things Climate. By all means your children should be instructed with the material from this site. Sound Science. This is the go to group if you want to know the truth about climate. The only reason this site has less than four stars is because it does not support the presuppositions of Climate Crisis or the Green New Deal, neither of which is supported by science that is empirical data.

I was shocked to find this website had a 'NOT SAFE' rating by WOT. The only reason given in the reviews that resulted in the website being flagged is that the worldview and positions on Global Warming held by the Heartland Institute are contrary to the mainstream view. This is the same kind of thinking that led to the Spanish Inquisition: If you disagree with the dogma of the ruling class, you will be ostracized and punished.

Claiming CO2 is not harming the climate is wrong and harmful. The ignorant and scientifically illiterate may take it as a true source of info, and cast doubt on science itself. Its not 'just another point of view' its disinformation intended to obstruct the advancement of scientific solutions.

This site presents a different viewpoint than what the misguided (one-world-green/ecosites) offer, so they gang up and report it as a bad site. This is just another harmless web site, unless you believe the propaganda being tossed around by the so-called 'green' sites, who claimed and continue to claim, the end of the world is coming because the climate is changing due to human caused damage and pollution. (Now By 2030. For Sure This Time. Really. Trust Us. We Have “Scientific Studies”) These are same sort of people who swore that coastal areas worldwide would be under twenty feet of water by 2016. They are fanatics who malign anyone who disagrees with them. I believe we humans have done some damage, but that we have caused damage to the extent needed to destroy the world, in my opinion, is lunacy by mentally impaired people or hypocrites trying to fleece others to get money. In any case their opinions are nothing but spite and this site is fine for anyone to visit. Sincerely, MJT

As the world burns, this "institute" promotes adding gasoline, and argues that the sum of two plus two is a matter of opinion.

Reading through the comments, I noticed that all the bad reviews for it are based purely on opinion. It is indeed a perfectly safe site to access; people just need to have a few ounces of integrity when reviewing on a site's safety. Air your opinions elsewhere.
