The title is a little misleading. The story is from one of the scientists targeted in the attack, not an insider from the attacking side (which would be very interesting indeed).
Decent article, but not exactly surprising given what I've already read about on some of the attacks on climate science here in the U.S.
- __david__ 13y agoI didn't find it misleading at all. It's from exactly the viewpoint that I assumed after reading the title...

- subsection1h 13y ago> not an insider from the attacking side (which would be very interesting indeed). This might not be exactly what you're interested in, but it was reported that the Global Climate Coalition, "a group representing industries with profits tied to fossil fuels" that "led an aggressive lobbying and public relations campaign against the idea that emissions of heat-trapping gases could lead to global warming", was advised by it's own scientific and technical experts that "the science backing the role of greenhouse gases in global warming could not be refuted". http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/24/science/earth/24deny.html?pagewanted=all http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/24/science/earth/24deny.html?...
