The Pacific Institute is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization established in Oakland, California to further environmental awareness. They represent yet another group claiming non-partisan when in fact, far-left liberals. Like all liberal environmentalists, they deem Global Warming "settled science" and mock the opposition as "deniers" holding on to "willful ignorance". Per their website: "We conduct research, publish reports, recommend solutions, and work with decision makers, advocacy groups, and the public to change policy." Pacific Institute wants a healthy planet by the promotion of environmental justice.
Peter H. Gleick is Pacific Institute's president and considers himself a scientist. He makes noise writing articles in the left-wing Huffington Post. Gleick is a Democrat, a denier of creationism, refuses to consider the links between vaccines and autism. Gleick whined about how conservatives use bad science to push political agendas. In addition, he points a finger of shame at the anti-science mentality of the Republican presidential candidates, then references other liberal sources as proof they are wrong.
In 2012, Gleick admitted to stealing private information from conservative think tank Heartland Institute on the subject of Climate Change. A number of institutions have accepted his resignation or removed his name from their membership. [1] [2]
