It seems the reporting of Gleick as being cleared of forgery by some unknown investigation is now being un-cleared. See here for the original post.
Lol, too funny. It now seems the article has been withdrawn. It was taken down shortly after I tweeted her.
@suzyji read your Gleick article…. no sources for article? Did you and Gleick just invent this, too?
Though, I don’t know if one has anything to do with the other. It’s just the timing that I’m noting.
I went to the Pacific Institute….. nothing there on it. I even went to DeSmear…. nothing there either.
This link…… http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2012/may/20/peter-gleick-cleared-heartland once took me here…….
Now, we get this…..
I don’t know what happened, I’m sure it was an honest mistake about something…… but, this sure looks bad.
UPDATE!! Thanks to reader Kim, I did a little research on the corespondent who reported this ……… story? It seems our friend, Suzanne Goldenberg, has a past with departing from the truth already. In 2006 she reported
On the night of July 23, 2006, an Israeli aircraft intentionally fired missiles at and struck two Lebanese Red Cross ambulances performing rescue operations, causing huge explosions that injured everyone inside the vehicles. Or so says the global media, including Time magazine, the BBC, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and thousands of other outlets around the world. If true, the incident would have been an egregious and indefensible violation of the Geneva Convention, and would constitute a war crime committed by the state of Israel.
But there’s one problem: It never happened.

Or just Google Suzanne Goldenberg ambulance hoax.
I think the honest mistake was…….it didn’t happen! LOL
I still don’t see how they are going to figure out if he did or didn’t forge that email…
Read the update! Goldenberg was the main figure in the anti-Semitic ambulance hoax……. exactly when Kim said she left war correspondence!
good grief….so they move her to US environmental …..where she can wreck havoc
What better place for a lying whack-job?
They’re not going to be able to unless they can talk some sap into taking the rap for it.
Suzanne takes my hand down to the river, tells a little lie that explodes and gets bigger.
Dumb lieing SOB – To lie is to hold something which one knows is not the truth to be the whole truth, intentionally. In some situations, including perjury and fraud. Nothing new for a died in the wool socialist, anything for the cause. LOL – I wonder if we will see this in Huff and Blow post?
Lol, I hadn’t seen anything on it but it’s been a couple of hours since I was there.
Suzanne Goldenberg told me: “I remain confident that the story was true.” She points out that she and Sean Smith reported the story first hand and independently and did not rely on what purported to be amateur video footage of the incident.”
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/22533_Al-Guardian_Shills_for_Ambulance_Story
BUT She has a long history………….
http://www.tomgrossmedia.com/Jeningrad.html
If someone would sellout their own heritage for a story….???
Yes….. she’s clearly an anti-Semitic, but her name seems Jewish. Go figure. You see that from time to time.
It would seem that.. the Photojournalist Sean Smith covering the ambulance story, did not suffer the same chastisements.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/gallery/2012/mar/22/guardian-photographer-sean-smith-in-pictures#/?picture=387679514&index=13
Well, they have to have someone over there to keep up the propaganda.
While what you say has some truth….I think it points to something else.
What did Ms Suzanne Goldenberg do to tickoff the Guardian if it wasn’t just the ambulance story?
Oh, I don’t think the Guardian was punishing her. They’ve been anti-Israel for as long as I can remember. But, I think the ambulance story made her a liability to their messaging. Recall, it was her reporting that got her banned from Israel briefings.
So, they sent her to another progressive leftist cause to propagandize.
I could be wrong, though.
But they [ Guardian ] could send her to other war zones I.e Arab Spring etc
Well, that may be because you’re rational. Those people….. not so much. But, you have a point.
True….. hard telling. Maybe this was a demotion. But, then we’d have to assume the Guardian as some sort of journalistic standards. Lol, maybe she voted for Bush?
If I was a famous war correspondent…I would know I was being demoted by being placed in the Environmental rag section.
You’ve lost the chance at a Pulitzer in rapid changing war correspondence and now have to report on Gleick?
next it will be movie reviews………….LOL
Yeppers!!! That’s my thinking.
Fear not, as long as there are people there will always be war zones to go to.
Sadly, you’re right.
It doesn’t make any sense – it’s not possible for the story to be true. Even if the events happened as she said, how on earth would anyone know what the Israeli pilot was targeting? And if they did target the ambulances AND hit them – everyone would be dead, not ‘injured’. If someone emailed me that story the first thing I would do is check Snopes because it sounds so fake. How can she peddle such pap?
Exactly right. No one would have walked away had they been hit. But, she peddles her nonsense because many, many people are so eager to believe it.
Just look at this story. As Jayman notes, it was lapped up by 100s of other sites. Very few questioned the veracity of someone having been proved not to have forged a document.
Reblogged this on Climate Ponderings and commented:
GOTCHAS!!!
I posted both of these over on Kate’s………….
Cool!
Morano just posted it up on his….
Link please.
Well, okay, but it just links back here….. http://www.climatedepot.com/
Thank you!
Lol, she’s tweeted, but nothing about Gleick…..
Uh! They’re losing their alarmists! It’s worse than we thought!
Wait… can’t be too difficult to find some new unemployed alarmists in California… or are they all busy in government jobs already?
Oh sorry – my brain replaced “heartland Institute” against “Pacific Institute” before my consciousness got the information. Der Wunsch war Vater des Gedankens. (The wish was the father of the thought)
Lol, yeh, but I think they are losing alarmists. Would you associate with that cast of idiots?
deflect….look over here….don’t look there
Yep! Classic….. response # 7 ?
Thanks for recommending me screenshot that!
And let us not forget that Goldenberg (along with Revkin, Hickman and Black) was among the first media “fences” to flog Gleick’s stolen and fabricated goods, without verifying their provenance and authenticity.
Perhaps since she has now “disappeared” her “Gleick cleared” story – not to mention her past history – Goldenberg would care to give us one good reason why anyone should give any credence to any report that appears (and sometimes disappears!) under her byline.
Indeed. This little exercise simply reinforces the serial dishonesty of the alarmists and their propaganda machine…… LSM
“Pinocchio” Gleick Confessed
To the forgery?
To being a liar and a thief.
Lol, well true that. But, I haven’t seen where he confessed to the forgery. Our friend Lat is right, that would be very difficult to prove. Even though we all know he did forge it.
So you can just make up whatever you like, print it out, scan it, post it on the Internet and when called out you say “I’m innocent, somebody send it to me in the mail”?
Let’s try that with some terror threat and see what it gets you.
Gleick’s real protection is the current DOJ.
Agreed. He clearly violated the law. And it can be demonstrated he caused financial loss. If you or I posed as someone we’re not and got into Univ. of Virginia and posted the e-mails on the net, we’d be in jail.
The article may have been deleted from the Guardian, but it’s already cited in around 1720 other places:
Yeh, I was just looking at that. I went to a few to correct them.. I even fixed the Wiki entry. 🙂 The disappeared article is getting curiouser and curiouser.
User:Rd232 “This user is no longer very active on Wikipedia” seems to be doing hundreds of edits in a week, including edits on Heartland and Gleick.
I wonder if Connolley is back to his tricks again?
Rd232 has a user profile at The Guardian:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/discussion/user/rd232
Strange, perusing his comments at the guardian, he don’t seem to have much to do with cli-sci. But, that’s wiki for you. There’s really not much to be done about it.
What struck me is where it wasn’t picked up. Not at TP, DeSmear, nor SKS. It’s not at the Pacific Institute. ….it isn’t anywhere you’d expect to see it first.
Isn’t the internet great. All of the lies these charlatans perpetrate are stored forever ready to be thrown back in their faces. These people are either incredibly arrogant and credit the public with no intelligence or their bias blinds them to their own stupidity; probably a mixture of both.
The material for a number of great books about serial liars is accumulating quickly in servers across the planet.
Yes, their arrogance prohibits them seeing their stupidity. And, yes, there’s enough for several books I’d imagine.
James keep on watching and reporting on these scum bags, exposing them to the light of day, pour salt into their wounds, they deserve no less for all the pain they have inflicted on the world, Bloody blood sucking socialist vampires!
I’ll do my best! Thanks! But, it’s pretty much a group effort. This one especially. Lat had prompted me to screen-shot this, and Kim noted that Goldenberg had been a war corespondent who switched to climate in 2006. Which rang a bell with me.
– The Guardian Corrections page
– If The Guardian wanted to prove that it’s ENVIRONMENTAL PAGES are exempt from it’s code of ethics & accuracy it would leave this story off that Corrections page. They already corrected a normal news story from May 21st, but the Gleick story is not YET there.
…meanwhile the meme has been planted : “Peter Gleick …he was cleared wasn’t he ?”
Nice catch. It had been “disappeared” by the time I got there from Bishop Hill.
But the world does have Google Cache and quick readers have made copies – the lie is exposed.
When will these clowns in the traditional MSM realize they can no longer cover up their mistakes? Admit them, take the lump and move on! But no, they have to look like fools.

Talk about jumping the shark, she published the results of a non-investigation before it ever was completed. A bit Muir Russell like.
Lol, no doubt. What I find fascinating is that she won’t answer my tweets. I know she saw them. She’s even sharing a chuckle with Black about the upcoming HI meet. But, she won’t tell me anything about why the article was disappeared.
It headline is still there, look for “Most Recent”
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/climate-change-scepticism
The story appears to be back to life.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/suzannegoldenberg
Funny stuff, here’s a screencap.
Lol, right. it was there earlier, then it wasn’t, now it is again.
Thanks for your work and Kim too. Much appreciated
Welcome …on my part 🙂
Hmmmmmmmmmm……I wonder if She’s reading here…?? Cause on her tweet now…she says recovering war correspondent https://suyts.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/image_thumb45.png?w=583&h=446
kim, I’m sure she’s keeping up…….it would be hard to miss it
Is there a cure? 🙂
Lol, yeh, but she’s giving me the silent treatment! lol
that may not have anything to do with this……………………:-P …………..LOL
Lol, it could be, but I thought I’ve hidden all of my pics!
LOLOLOLOL
It’s not so much a story as a claim. Goldenberg provides absolutely no information on Gleick being cleared. Was he cleared by a panel of professionals? His Aunt Matilda? No idea.
Never mind Goldenberg, what were the Guardian editors thinking?
I don’t think they’re shooting for accuracy.
Guys, go take a look – the story has been put back up again – so weird – what is the Guardian playing at?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2012/may/21/peter-gleick-cleared-heartland
We know John, thanks. https://suyts.wordpress.com/2012/05/21/now-you-see-it-now-you-dont-now-you-do/
I don’t really know what game they’re playing. It could be that they had to do a show of hands about whether or not they’d back this bit of …… journalism or not. Apparently, the decision was that they would. I’ve emailed the enrivo editor, but my experience is that I won’t hear back from them.
She was at the HI meeting….did anyone corner her?
I asked them to pass it on from WUWT, but I haven’t heard anything.
I see facepalm lost $20 billion this morning……………
…now who would have seen that coming
Lol, yeh, I was going to write about that, but I got too busy.
but that’s after MS pumping $65 million into it friday afternoon to prop it up…and NASDAQ putting a stop to shorts……….
and they still have shares to sell….

Fun at the Heartland conference
Astronaut Harrison Schmitt sitting nearby, along with Joe Bast, Marc Morano, Willie Soon, Patrick Michaels, and Suzanne Goldenberg.
Suzanne appears to be drinking non-locally-grown coffee.
http://tomnelson.blogspot.se/2012/05/fun-at-heartland-conference.html
I dono…I have been thinking about this whole mess.
I think the first report was posted by mistake. Meaning it was pre-written ahead of time and she mistakenly posted it too soon…
She got the story mixed-up with the other story she posted yesterday.
I think she might have been planning to hit the Heartland Conference with it – She is going to try to pull something at the conference.
It might be wise for Heartland to be on it’s toes.
I had fun with the Lebanese ambulance “bombing” and called upon my US Air Force experience to add a little to the analysis of this journalistic fraud, and a couple of others perpetrated six years ago in Lebanon.
http://strongasanoxandnearlyassmart.blogspot.com/2006/08/dont-shit-in-your-mess-kit.html
I read your post! Well done! There’s a video out somewhere about “green helmet guy”.
I had thought about dragging all of that up again, but opted for brevity in hopes someone like you would pick that side of it up.
The story of the LeftStreamMedia’s willing, complicit, participation in utter fabrication of the coverage of the Israeli conflicts is horrifying.
