For the latest update, go here.
The Heartland Institute has launched one of the most offensive billboard campaigns in U.S. history. The Chicago-based anti-science think tank is comparing all those who accept climate science — and the journalists who report on it accurately — to Charles Manson, the Unabomber, and Osama Bin Laden.
This far-beyond-the-pale ad campaign to promote their Chicago conference later this month is a moment of truth for both the think tank and the broader community of disinformers and their enablers.
Will confirmed speakers like Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI), Czech President Vasclav Klaus, Joe Bastardi, Pat Michaels, Fred Singer, or former NASA astronauts show up at the conference, thereby endorsing this beyond-extremist message? Will leading deniers denounce these offensive ads — or will they implicitly endorse this kind of hate speech? Will media outlets like PBS keep quoting Heartland 'experts' as if they were a legitimate source of information?
GM ended their financial support of Heartland earlier this month, as has AT&T, but why are State Farm and Microsoft still supporting it? Many other public corporations have donated money or provided resources to Heartland, including Eli Lilly & Co., GlaxoSmithKline, Nucor, Pfizer, and Time Warner Cable. Will they cut ties or implicitly endorse these extreme ads?
UPDATE: Heartland ended their gruesome failure today at 5 pm, but in a release, refused to admit it was a mistake or apologize. Heartland Institute President Joseph Bast tried to call this an "experiment" even though a series of billboards were planned (see below) and stated, "We do not apologize for running the ad." So, apparently, no lessons learned for the disinformers. What caused them to fold, then? The Washington Post's Greg Sargent reported:
Congressman Sensenbrenner will not participate in the upcoming Climate Change Conference if the Heartland Institute decides to continue this ad campaign. We have contacted the Heartland Institute and voiced these same concerns to them.
You know you are off the deep end of anti-science extremism when you've offended the sensibility of Sensenbrenner, a man who once "sent a letter to Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, calling for scientists whose names appear in the e-mails stolen from the U.K. Climatic Research Unit to be blacklisted from participating as contributors or reviewers of the forthcoming IPCC Fifth Assessment Report."
The UK Guardian, which broke the story this morning, calls this "possibly one of the most ill-judged poster campaigns in the history of ill-judged poster campaigns.
But let's be clear. This is not some "oops" moment by an individual overzealous Heartland employee with catastrophically poor judgment. Quite the reverse.
This is a collective act by the Institute expressing its core worldview. A sustained billboard campaign would have to be signed off at the highest levels. Heartland displays the above image on its main website, proudly announcing its campaign and linking to its robust defense of "Our Billboards" on its conference website.
Heartland's detailed rationalization for its hate speech confirms the very worst views of this right-wing group. I'll quote it at length since it is so self-discrediting:
Billboards in Chicago paid for by The Heartland Institute point out that some of the world's most notorious criminals say they "still believe in global warming" – and ask viewers if they do, too…
The billboard series features Ted Kaczynski, the infamous Unabomber; Charles Manson, a mass murderer; and Fidel Castro, a tyrant. Other global warming alarmists who may appear on future billboards include Osama bin Laden and James J. Lee (who took hostages inside the headquarters of the Discovery Channel in 2010).
These rogues and villains were chosen because they made public statements about how man-made global warming is a crisis and how mankind must take immediate and drastic actions to stop it.
Why did Heartland choose to feature these people on its billboards?
Because what these murderers and madmen have said differs very little from what spokespersons for the United Nations, journalists for the "mainstream" media, and liberal politicians say about global warming….
The point is that believing in global warming is not "mainstream," smart, or sophisticated. In fact, it is just the opposite of those things. Still believing in man-made global warming – after all the scientific discoveries and revelations that point against this theory – is more than a little nutty. In fact, some really crazy people use it to justify immoral and frightening behavior.
You just can't make this stuff up — unless you are a group of professional disinformers. As Climate Central puts it, "Heartland Institute Jumps the Shark."
Oh, but Heartland wants you to know that not every single climate scientist — nor every member of the over 120 governments who sign off on the IPCC assessment reports nor every reporter who writes accurately — is like a psychopath:
Of course, not all global warming alarmists are murderers or tyrants.
Seriously. And yet they write:
The people who still believe in man-made global warming are mostly on the radical fringe of society. This is why the most prominent advocates of global warming aren't scientists. They are murderers, tyrants, and madmen.
Has there ever been a more insidious attack in this country on scientists and reporters — and millions of Americans who are alarmed and concerned about global warming based solely on what the science actually says?
One can't even get into the internal logic of this nonsense. Outside of the climate blogosphere (and viewers of Fox News), it's doubtful that more than a few percent of the public has any notion that these crazed individuals happen to have expressed views on global warming. They aren't "the most prominent advocates."
One word on the late Osama Bin Laden. Terrorists try very hard to spread their disinformation. A key goal is to get others to spread it for them, especially ones who are holed up in a cave somewhere — or who are now dead. Thus terrorists craft their disinformation into a sensational message that they hope gullible members of the global media will repeat. If Heartland runs a billboard with Bin Laden's image pushing his disinformation, it will be even a lower low for them (see here).
UPDATE: Not that it matters to the disinformers at Heartland, but as E&E reports on the Unabomber's manifesto (which you can confirm online):
The words "climate change" don't appear in the manifesto, nor are there references to "global warming" or "carbon."
Asked about this discrepancy, Heartland spokesman Jim Lakely pointed to a passage from Kaczynski's manifesto that says the Industrial Revolution has "inflicted severe damage on the natural world."
Heartland's entire justification for taking anti-science, anti-scientist hate speech to a new level — and plastering it over the Dwight D Eisenhower Expressway in Illinois — are the "Climategate" stolen emails and the incident in which Peter Gleick admitted using deception to obtain Heartland documents (which Gleick subsequently acknowledged was "a serious lapse of my own and professional judgment and ethics").
Yet, several climate scientists who "had their emails stolen [in 2009], posted online and grossly misrepresented," slammed Heartland for "spreading misinformation" and "personally attacking climate scientists to further its goals." The scientists specifically noted:
In 2009, the Heartland Institute was among the groups that spread false allegations about what these stolen emails said. Despite multiple independent investigations, which demonstrated that allegations against scientists were false, the Heartland Institute continued to attack scientists based on the stolen emails. When more stolen emails were posted online in 2011, the Heartland Institute again pointed to their release and spread false claims about scientists.
You can read Heartland's reply to similar charges here. Climategate isn't a justification for Heartland to smear those who accept climate science. Quite the reverse. It is a reason for an apology, albeit one that pales in comparison to the mea culpas needed for this billboard campaign.
Does the Heartland Board stand behind these ads? The full list is here. Many of them live in Chicago. Does this really express their worldview?
Everyone needs to go on record on this. These ads are so extremist that failing to denounce them is an implicit endorsement of the worst kind of hate speech.
UPDATE: Andrew Sullivan comments on the billboard at The Daily Beast:
In some ways, this is an almost perfect illustration of what has happened to the "right." A refusal to acknowledge scientific reality; and a brutalist style of public propaganda that focuses entirely on guilt by the most extreme association….
Mann and Ornstein are correct. Large sections of the American right are now close to insane as well as depraved. And there is no Buckley to rein them in. Just countless Jonah Goldbergs seeking to cash in.
It is worth nothing that the extremist disinformers at WattsUpWithThat were pushing this kind of hate speech long before Heartland (see "Purported eco-terrorist shot and killed by police"). When James J. Lee held people hostage with a gun and bombs strapped to his body at the Discovery Communications in 2010, this was Watts' headline:
And the first line of Watts' post is "Well, you filthy readers, see what happens when we don't acquiesce?" Remember, Watts is a guy who demanded others "dial back the rhetoric."
And he stands by that headline and text to this day!

The source later revealed himself.

The deniers are starting to crack up. It started with Watts' BEST humiliation, and has been picking up steam.
The pivot will be interesting. Guys like Jesse Helms and Lester Maddox managed it, turning from civil rights opponents into lovers of blacks overnight. Claiming that you understood basic science all along may be a little tougher, but don't underestimate these guys' ability to pull off more whoppers.
When they do, Watts and McIntyre will be thrown off the bus, and they don't even see it coming.
I just checked out the latest comments over at WUWT. They've gone from two cans short of a six-pack to four (and counting)….
Personally, I'm disappointed to see that Heartland pulled the advertisments.
With a clever countering publicity campaign and some tight scientific input (of the real sort), Heartland's nonsense could have been used to catapult the denialist motivation and tactics into the harsh glare of public scrutiny.
Many sleepers might have been awakened…
There will be no 'pivot'. The bedrock reality is that the fossil fuel interests, valued at twenty-five trillion in assets in their accounts, are reduced to zero value by the only action that could avert climate destabilisation disaster-the rapid decarbonisation of our civilization. This pretty odious campaign is standard operating procedure for the Right, and there will be far worse to come, bet on it. In recent times the rhetoric of the Right directed against environmentalists in this country has been increasingly hate-filled and extreme, and is being egged on by a Rightwing hate media that has lost all restraint. The latest Rightwing regimes elected in the states immediately on gaining power begin to attack and destroy environmental protections, even those introduced by their own parties decades ago. It's a familiar process-where the Right cannot get its way, 100%, they grow more belligerent and violent, and that, I'm certain will be the next stage. Not the murderous violence of assassination and 'disappearances' that environmentalists suffer in Colombia, the Philippines or Cambodia etc, but the state violence of repressive laws, and, I would expect, 'green terrorist' provocations leading to a ruthless crackdown.
Well that worked out a lot better than I expected. I expected to post up that link as a little reminder about how Mr Watts runs his blog. Sloppy and with no regard for who he is giving a platform too.
But Mr Watts seems to have taken exception to one comment on another blog and instead handed me a rather nice gift.
rather than the fact that once I learned more, I found them offensive and immediately deleted the story. It was my mistake for not checking sources further.
One quick google suggests the only people who ran the story were the BNP (so he is admitting he did not check for a second source on the story) and he is admitting he did not check who was issuing this story.
He has basically admitted he does not bother checking what he posts on his blog.
If only the BNP was pushing this "story," where did Whutts get it?
Then how do these people continue to justify murder in the name of their religion?
Osama Bin Laden also believed in gravitation. Whiwh proves that believing in gravitation is nutty!
And I'm willing to bet the Unibomber, OBL and Charlie Manson all believe the earth is round and what the heck, they probably even believe that the earth orbits the sun. Stupidity and evil are not the same thing, unless, apparently, you're in charge of putting a PR campaign together for the Heartland Institute. Then you might point to yourself as proof of your own thesis.
Joseph Stalin believed in gravity. Do you?
Bingo! :)
He loved Mozart, too. Out goes Wolfgang.
This is "fifth column" Andrew Sullivan complaining about "a brutalist style of public propaganda that focuses entirely on guilt by the most extreme association"?
Let's not forget Hitler. He was a vegetarian. I can't believe they left that one out.
This is an absolutely massive own-goal by Heartland. It's hard to believe anyone could be so stupid and have such poor judgment as to think these billboards are a good idea or will convince anyone to deny global warming. If anything they'll have the opposite effect, making 'skeptics' realize who's on their "side".
Lucia at The Blackboard talking about the billboard ads:.
But now on to the billboard itself. Is it defamation? I think not. Should it change my mind about attending the upcoming meeting?
No. For one thing, notwithstanding your use of the word "promoting", attending is not the same as promoting. Your conflating the two is just another bit of evidence of your poor reasoning abilities.Of the billboards you write:
Heartland has paid to put billboards up in Chicago comparing these scientists to mass-murderers and terrorists.That billboard doesn't compare anyone to a mass-murderer or terrorist. What it does is show that a particular mass-murderer happened to believe in global warming. The latter is stupid, and distasteful but that doesn't magically transform it into the former. These are two different things.
Yet again, let me remind everyone here that nothing Heartland did should be a surprise to anyone who is paying attention. The deniers see economic doom for the fossil fuel industries (which, not so coincidentally, tells you all you need to know about the prospects for making carbon capture an economically viable, broad-based option), which means that they will say and do anything they think will help their cause. ANYTHING.
Normal human concerns like morality, ethics, and even legal issues mean nothing except to the extent that they reduce the effectiveness of their tactics. We are talking about living corporations, people who are so intent on maximizing their profits that they've tossed all other factors over the nearest deck railing.
Expect their pattern of behavior to get far worse in the coming years. They've already placed such enormous bets on fossil fuels that they have no choice (at least as they perceive the world).
Their firewall now is the US Senate, due to bribery of enough Senators to threaten a filibuster or block a climate treaty. It will be interesting to see how that plays out. So far Democrats and Green organizations are afraid to truly call out the McConnells and Barassos.
I just hope the Dems hold the Senate in November (there are 12 more Democrat Senate seats up for election than Republican if memory serves), otherwise the gates will be open and the war on green energy and climate change from the House will get passed through…
Yes! Because everyone knows that while what Democrats want always takes 60 votes to pass, what Republicans want just takes a majority. I mean, it's written in the Constitution, right? Oh wait…
Absolutely correct, I regret to say.
"Experts" and staff at Heartland Institute, and many serial killers and terrorists, as well, believe in God and Jesus.
Adolf was a vegetarian and liked dogs. And let us not forget while we've got serial killers up front that sometime Republican/Libertarian philosopher-in-chief Ayn Rand was an ardent admirer of the sociopathic serial killer William Edward Hickman.Got to be a connection there.Generally speaking most Americans probably never knew what Kaczynski looked like and can barely remember the association or what the unabomber was infamous for. I'd suspect that,as with a lot of the right's efforts lately, the effect will be less than they imagined and hoped for and the backlash will be greater.
Ted Kaczynski was, in my opinion, absolutely correct in his opinions, and absolutely incorrect in his methods. Blowing up people, even those engaged in far more destructive activities than those Kaczynski targeted, is wicked and practically counter-productive. The Unabomber was a propaganda gift to the Right, and Kaczynski's Manifesto, although spot-on in its understanding of the destructiveness of industrial society, was never going to cause a leap in human understanding. Kaczynski simply over-estimated his power to influence those less intellectually gifted than he.
Nothing more perfectly depicts the moral nihilism and intellectual bankruptcy of the 'skeptics' on global warming than this ad.
It's hard to imagine any responsible person or corporation continuing to support the Heartland Institute after this latest fiasco.
Not sure which is worse. Their funding a program to prevent school children from getting a decent science education, or the fact they equate the majority of the population with 'murderers, tyrants, and madmen'.
Osama Bin Laden still believes the earth revolves around the sun. DO YOU?
I heard, a few years ago, that only 4/5 Americans believe the earth goes around the sun. I wonder what party that remaining 1/5 is affiliated with?
Heritage Institute supporters include Microsoft, State Farm, Comcast, GlaxoSmithKline, Farmer's Insurance, Time Warner, Verizon, and Eli Lilly based on Heritage Institute's 2012 Fund Raising plan.
Mark, did you mean "Heartland Institute?" There is a Heritage Foundation. I'd like to make sure the right donors get attached to the correct right-wing, money-laundering, tax avoiding, disinforming, propaganda outfit.
Sorry. I meant to type Heartland Institute. Here's the link with the Heartland Institute document listing their supporters.
"The Heartland Institute has launched one of the most offensive billboard campaigns in U.S. history."
Why am I not surprised?
BTW, Stalin was right – gravity *does* exist.
With recent developments in genetics, particularly in epigenetics, can we expect a neo-Lysenkism to rear its head some day? Pity about Vavilov, though.
The farce is strong with this one.
This will most likely backfire on (the Heartland Institute) [snip] a brain dead group. Americans seem to get dumber by the day.
For the first time, average IQs are falling in the West, and the evidence of the consequences is pretty ubiquitous.
Wow. Talk about desperate. Where does the Heartland Institute get its money? Will people fall for this campaign? I can't imagine it would change anyone's mind, but it's giving the Heartland Institue an awful lot of attention.
Here's where they get their money.
Might be insanely funny except that it's so sad and so pathetic. How desperate they are to convince people that scince is something to be feared and that one must be a psychopath to believe in global warming. I fear for the world's future if these people succeed in their cause.
The scientific community isn't even debating whether or not global warming is occurring; it is. Neither are they debating whether or not it is man made; it is. The question the scientific community is now grappling with is whether or not man-made global warm will excellarate synergistically in a process know as thermal run-away; it may.
Whose mind would be changed by this billboard?
Stupid people, and there are a lot of them out there.
Not sure, but while traveling through Nebraska last year, I saw hundreds of billboards with variants of "They want you to believe your great-grandfather was a monkey. [picture of chimpanzee] We believe in God. What do you believe?"
Someone believes that all that expense is doing something.
Don't forget – half of the US population is of below average intelligence…
When I graduated from high school, Bernard, the principal came over after the commencement ceremony, put his hand on my shoulder, and said "Ray, I want to thank you for being one of those making the upper half of the class possible."
I was so proud! ;)
We are not talking of 'minds' here. The target audience is the Dunning-Krugerites where fear, greed, ignorance, resentment and paranoia energise various reptilian reflexes, conditioned by a lifetime of brainwashing by the Rightwing MSM hate machine. These people have been trained to viscerally despise 'greenies' so reject anything associated with them, without recourse to cognition. When they hear the tocsin, they salivate without thinking.
This isn't so far different from the way that, say, the Taliban recruits…
"In fact, some really crazy people use it to justify immoral and frightening behavior."
Just like religion, but if you ran similar billboards with murderous leaders and people who supported religion, could you imagine the heads popping and the vile hatred being spewed. If anything, this shows just how desperate their side is getting.
I do wish people would get the Microsoft connection straight. MS doesn't give any money to Heartland. It has a program under which free or reduced-cost software is provided to nonprofits. Heartland is just one of thousands of nonprofits to take advantage of the program.
The implication that someone at MS is writing checks to Heartland is just plain wrong.
Thanks for the clarification!
"Will confirmed speakers like Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) or Czech President Vasclav Klaus or Joe Bastardi or Pat Michaels or Fred Singer or former NASA astronauts show up at the conference, thereby endorsing this beyond-extremist message?"
YES! They will. Republican's wholeheartedly endorse Heartland. They all endorse whatever lies and hate they think will work no matter how offensive! They will even lie to themselves if they think it will work:
"This is why the most prominent advocates of global warming aren't scientists. They are murderers, tyrants, and madmen."
Total lies! These have not been the names most frequently brought up as the "most prominent advocates of global warming." These madmen have not been mentioned before. This is all new material from the preeminent organization of lies and hate. But this is exactly what happens when what used to be the fringe of the Republican Party takes over. Fringe organizations become prominent funders of campaigns and important sources of campaign funds. Fringe organizations become the mainstream messaging machine for the Republican Party and ALL news organizations will repeat their repugnant lies. Negativity and hate will dominate discussions. Insane conspiracy theories will be considered plausible or credible and all prominent members of the Republican Party will endorse the disgusting lies.
Let's try and get this one straight, one more time.
It is the Heartland Institute that is in the frame here and not the Heritage Foundation, a quite different entity although some memes cross the border.
Whatever, is it not time that the names and faces of the Heartland cognoscenti are emblazoned on bill-boards across the US and elsewhere?
There are so many in the ranks of Heartland advisers that a rolling display could keep the attention for quite some time – particularly if each name and face was accompanied by one of their crass statements and its rebuttal.
There is a handy list of Heartland Institute 'global warming experts' at SourceWatch.
Many on that list are oh so familiar.
The rank stupidity is staggering. It's that weird uber-right wing belief that whoever screams the loudest wins.
Indeed! What is this, kindergarten? (My apologies to decent, free-thinking four and five year-olds everywhere).
heartland institute is as crazy as their billboards… Scientist who studied Global warming were admonished to reporting the truth in front of congress and had to have their work 'corrected' by non-scientist before they were allowed to speak…
The billboards and their messages are offensive to people who still think for themselves and most of all to the scientist who try to warn us…
Did you know that the roundness of the earth is a view supported by every mass murder, serial killer, terrorist, and father-raper of the past 25 years? Apparently, I really should consider an alternate world view.
And don't get me started on revolving around the sun. Crackpots, I sez, all of them!
My, how time flies! It seems that only a day or two ago that the very esteemed PBS yet again offered up a Heartland spokesperson as a climate change expert.
Oh, wait. It was only a day or two ago.
So many people are willing to destroy the planet for a few more months of unprecedented PROFIT, regardless of the LOSS and major transformation of the entire ecosystem.
These are the killers, the planetary rapists and pillagers. Liars, thieves, swindlers and psychopathic personalities. Feel free to treat them as you would ANY garbage. Crush them, throw them away, and do NOT recycle these monsters. They are here to kill you – so their bottom line will grow.
If you want to take the Florida view, STAND YOUR GROUND, and respond to this life-threatening scenario. It's legally self-defense (if you get a decent lawyer,) you're trying to save your family's lives…
What are you suggesting here?
Charles Manson most likely believes the Earth is a spheroid – does that mean I have to join the Flat Earth Society?
It's so tempting to think this is an "own goal" on Heartland's part. Don't you believe it! These billboards will fit right into the current political climate.
Want to combat them? Find out how much the campaign cost. (There's a standard cost for billboards, right?) Then point out how much anti-AGW science that sum could buy — if there were any to be found.
$200 for the day's worth of billboard.
When I saw I this I was just stunned – this advertising/assault campaign is so heinous and beyond morality its hard to properly quantify it. I'll bet the Koch's are high fiving each other thinking its reasonable.
How on earth do you fight this? The Eisenhower expressway is one of the largest in the Chicago area. Hopefully this backfires and doesn't have some underlying psychological effect of pushing folks away from the issue because of the nastiness of the message. (i.e. some Lee Atwater type of strategy)
This hideous assault all because most of the U.S. population wants to deal with climate change and get us off fossil fuels a little earlier than we'll have to anyways.
And didn't the Heartland 'Institute' sqeal like a stuck pig when Peter Gleick dug deep to expose their propaganda machine…?
Gleick must be feeling rather vindicated now.
Yes they are all collectively kicking our grand children's ass – feel better.
I know know one talks about this, but honestly when all routes are exhausted do you not think there will be Eco-terrorism? At some point there will be – and there won't be enough prisons, police, jails to stop it. So spin that one and see where it gets you.
As you can see from the billboard the deniers will waiting to pounce on it as it will serve their ends, probably quite a bit.
I know what you mean though particularly when you have groups that put this kind of stuff up….but it would be so counterproductive we have to hope people don't start taking matters into their own hands.
I'd imagine there will be violence when the same headcases that currently send death threats to climate scientists realise they have been duped.
I guess what's most scary and impressive about this is that it shows the likes of bin Laden and the others are more reality-based and clear thinking than the deniers and wingnutjobs.
Once again, IT'S ALWAYS PROJECTION. For example:
" Still believing in an all-powerful invisible man in the sky – after all the scientific discoveries and revelations that point against this theory – is more than a little nutty. In fact, some really crazy people use it to justify immoral and frightening behavior.
Funny, that fits BETTER than the original Heartland bit…
This goes way too far. I'm sure the vast majority of criminals believe in gravity too. It's not who believes a certain scientific theory it's whether a theory is substantiated by the facts which climate change is.
Furthermore almost everyone including the respected Roman Catholic Church thought the world was flat before the end of the 15th century. The point is what IS matters in science not what people believe.
What else can they do? The facts are not on their side?
This is a matter about we really need enhanced investigative reporting. Because, there is strong scientific evidence that climate change is already harming people and ecological systems on which life depends, funding disinformation is not only ethically abhorrent because it is untruthful, it has real and harmful consequences. Corporations that fund misinformation may be legally liable for damages. Although a lot is already known about who has been funding this, we need better records on who has been and still is promoting the disinformation campaign. The disinformation campaign is a surprisingly under-reported phenomenon, despite the fact that some of the elements are known.
The "free" marketers got away with an intentional disinformation campaign on tobacco for roughly 50 years to the enrichment of the few who stood to gain from it and the widespread misery of their valued customers. Now the "free" marketers intend to enrich themselves for their own short lives to the widespread misery of the entire planet's biosphere and all foreseeable generations. Impossible to fully comprehend a measure of the sheer evil that's embodied in their denier motivations.
Will someone please quantify the difference between 'climate change' and 'weather change'?
Weather is the atmospheric conditions today, tomorrow. Climate is weather averaged over a long period of time. Weather changes constantly. Rain one hour, dry the next, hail after that. Climate changes slowly, although right now it is changing more rapidly, perhaps, than at any period in the earth's history.
Wow, what cave did you emerge from?
By a stroke of poetic justice, the address for the Heartland group is on South Wacker Drive.
A response ;)
This is what happens when your climate "expert" does not have a degree in atmospheric science. I think he was an English major at Syracuse. The stuff conservatives believe, Ha!
And Timothy McVeigh believed in limited gov't. Does this discredit the entire point of view. Should liberal groups now start smearing his face all over billboards to attack conservatives.
Well, not all mass murderers believe in Global Warming. In his manifesto the norwegian Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 persons last summer, describes Climate Change as a marxist conspiracy, and provides links to Christopher Monckton and Bishop's Hill.
Please join me and the Forecast the Facts campaign in telling public corporations to cut their funding to Heartland immediately!
Ad. Fucking. Hominem.
The Heartland Institute has now associated themselves in the public mind with Kaczinski, bin Laden and Castro. This is like the Italian head of state pictured in the same frame with an underage prostitute. It is a memory that is hard to overcome in the public mind.
The Heartland Institute didn't have a strong public image before, and now it will be very hard for them to invent one without this prior association.It could turn out just fine.
It occurs to me to wonder whether this billboard accurately represents Kaczynski's current views. Did someone from Heartland consult him? I doubt it.
One thing that is clear about him, from his manifesto, is that he opposed industrial society in general. You down with that, Mr. Bast? How about your sponsors?
There is a saying in geology: "nature's law enforce themselves." They are not subject to change, suspension, or amendment by any human
agency, particularly PR flacks of the kind so favored by the corporations. What we are seeing now in terms of bizarre weather is just what scientists predicted. Our choice is simple: change or become extinct. -
This seems to also be a major step of taking the direct propaganda out of the normal "friendly" alternate reality channels (Fox News, WSJ, News Corp. etc.) or news media (where they are parlayed as balance) and putting the propaganda directly into the Public's face where they have no choice but to view it – and no avenues for rebuttal or facts to intrude.
This is a place where the fossil fuel based money these groups have can go far (and they have alot of money), once they figure out how to message correctly, and is not a good development IMO – hopefully it goes no further than this awful campaign which seems destined to backfire. The awfulness of this is truly staggering.
Goes along with trying to push the propaganda directly in schools. Big Brother (from corporate fossil fuel interests) bombarding the public with direct propaganda – in action.
Charles Manson believes in gravity. DO YOU???
There's no point in picking at points of logic. These billboards aim to offend and outrage the outcrowd while delighting the incrowd.
Don't quibble with the logic, go straight for the jugular –
> Pressure their sponsoring companies to distance themselves from Heartland
> Pressure the media to stop giving oxygen to right wing fanatics like HeartlandI bet PBS is feeling foolish right now.
Group pulls plug on billboard linking global warming believers to terrorists
Like a pathetic has-been actor, I think it shows their desperation for MSM attention to tout their dimwit gathering.
A simple and effective response is #1., To identify the Companies, Corporations, Directorships, and trusts those vile persons are involved with. Then #2., Take every opportunity to boycott their products and services. #3., Enjoy watching their share prices and profits tumble. #4., Pat yourself and colleagues on the back. #5., Hold a street party. #6. Form a political lobby group. #7., Run yourself as a Candidate for Public Office. May THE FORCE be with you !

"Group pulls plug on billboard linking global warming believers to terrorists"
By Brian Vastag, Friday, May 4, 5:34 PM
Washington PostA stark mugshot of domestic terrorist Ted Kaczynski briefly took center stage in the increasingly ugly debate over climate change Friday as the Heartland Institute, a libertarian think tank funded by major corporations, launched a billboard campaign equating people convinced that global warming is real to the convicted killer.
"I still believe in Global Warming. Do you?" read big orange letters next to the Unabomber's infamously grizzled face on an electronic billboard along the Eisenhower Expressway outside Chicago, the Heartland Institute's home.
The billboard went live Thursday afternoon. But by 4 p.m. ET, an outcry from allies and opponents alike led the Heartland Institute's president, Joe Bast, to say he would switch off the sign within the hour.

Thanks for the details Joan.
These knuckleheads are beating a hasty retreat while declaring victory…
They're going to hang themselves with their own twisted rope. It's inevitable.
Reality bites in many ways. Nature is red in tooth and claw…
It's worse than that: Charles Manson, the Unabomber, and Osama Bin Laden, and brutal dictatorships like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar (oops, US-backed, delete that) and um, yeah, Castro, also believe that:
* The earth is Round
* Puppies are cute
* 1+1=2
Repent you others who agree with such vile people! ;-)
Please be aware that there is also http://www.heartlandbc.org which is the website for Heartland Blood Centers, an Illinois based blood bank that supplies blood to Chicago suburban area hospitals. It is NOT affiliated with this false science right wing group.
I believe in global warming and I believe that mankind plays a role in it. I believe the people at the Heartland Institute and the people who support them believe that it is their god given right to rape the land as they see fit. I will vote to oppose them any chance I get.
Hitler and Stalin believed in planet Mars! Do you?
By doing this, this far-right extremists are showing a classical example of PROJECTION.
In a nutshell, projection is an attack against the adversary in a discussion that is actually a twisted form of self-criticism.
Think about this: pollution kills hundred thousands of people every year, mainly by respiratory and enteric illness.This is already enough to call someone that pollutes or oppose regulating pollution a mass killer. This killing becomes murder if he/she/they is/are aware of the consecuences of his/her/their acts, and persists in his/her/their deadly activity (there is even a phrase in latin for this cases:" errare humanum est, perseverare est diabolicum")
Now, it is obvious that several degrees of man-made Global Warming will not kill thousands, will not kill millions, it will kill BILLIONS of people!
Not a single mass murderer (not even Hitler or Stalin), not a single global war, not a single pandemic infectious disease (like plague in the mid-1300 or avian influenza in 1918-1920)could be even close of being so deadly!
The only thing that could rival the deadlyness of the coming man-made disaster is a kilometer-sized asteroid hitting the Earth, triggering a global firestorm that will cause a natural version of the "nuclear winter" scenario …
An asteroid impact, if known with decades of advance, can be prevented by shifting gradually the asteroid path (sounds familiar, doesn't it?) What the polluters are doing (and their ideologues supporting) is just right taking an asteroid and putting it on a straight course of collision with the Earth to extract precious metals from it in the decades before the impact.
This is beyond insane, but is the most accurate analogy in paleontological terms.
Dear anti-science, anti-humanity, anti-life, anti-people polluters and deniers, if you want to talk about mass murder, please take a look in front of a MIRROR!
It's clear that HL is being pushed further and further to the right, as evidenced by their latest stunt with the Chicago billboards.
They're moving further to the margins and closer to irrelevancy.
Can we please stop calling HL a "a libertarian think tank funded by major corporations" and call it "an extremist false science group funded by fossil fuel interests".
Actually, I don't think Charles Manson ever discussed global warming, although he did write on environmental issues.
As for terrorism, Dr Gleick has written about water and terrorism. http://www.pacinst.org/reports/water_terrorism.pdf
I expect that Dr. Gleick's research is respected by the National Intelligence Council–the people who really are responsible for protecting us from terrorism.
Real experts on national security respect climate scientists and scientists who study environmental issues like water.
With this bizarre behavior are we beginning to see true coffin nails in the entire climate change denier sham?
Yup, even the most notorious psycho mass murderers have the presence of mind to believe in science, and the deniers are a couple of ranks below them.
There'd be nothing better than these posters become mainstream media viral.
With reactions like:
We Need You!
Join The Denier Sham
Deny the Truth!
Ah, the lose associations and broad generalizations of the right wing. They call us all Nazis/socialists/communists and this some how surprises you?
At first glance I thought the billboard read:
and Ted K was the poster child for Heartland staff.
How much does it cost to rent a billboard?
I was thinking in terms of hundreds of thousands of dollars, but a little research (afterward, drat) showed the cost to be quite a bit less. A 48×14 foot billboard costs $1,500 to $30,000 per month (per a major billboard company) — the price no doubt depending on the complexity of the sign and the location.
That's for a standard sign. I don't know the rates for electronic billboards.
Heartland say it cost $200 a day, in their non-apology attacking "alarmists" for… ummm…. thanklessly insulting Heartland over the billboard*.
(* No, you cannot make this stuff up)
Following on from my comment in a post above about high profile outing of the 'scientists' who suck at the Heartland teat there is this mention of a UKIP (UK Independence Party) operative in a recent Guardian article:
You also have to wonder if any of the scheduled conference speakers are now having doubts about whether they want to be associated with Heartland. One person who is on the list to speak is Roger Helmer, a British politician who has attended previous conferences. Having recently left the Conservative party as an MEP, the prominent climate sceptic is now the UK Independence Party's spokesperson on industry and energy.
Earlier, I sent him an email with a link to Heartland's poster campaign press release and asked him: "Will you now be reconsidering attending in light of this new poster campaign for the conference? Do you approve of or condemn the poster campaign?"
He confirmed he was still attending, adding:
I am delighted that the Heartland campaign for the Chicago climate conference has succeeded in its purpose and attracted the attention of the Guardian. I urge Guardian readers to attend the conference if they can, but failing that, to follow it on the web.
I simply have nothing further to add.
The Guardian had an interesting piece about Roger Helmer which almost suggests that Heartland got their idea of using billboards from him.
UKIP it should be noted has another person of interest on their team, note the colours of the furniture on the UKIP page.
So, I do have something to add, Helmer's response sums up UKIP nicely – if Monty Python was still having episodes written there is plenty of material in this farce.
I doubt if the likes of
WatermelonDelingpole will be deterred as such seem to have little real self awareness and of how they are viewed by the sane and informed. -
AN IDEA: Use the same billboard (if it is available) with the same phrase 'I still believe in global warming. Do You?', along with pictures of, say, Bishop Tutu, Stephen Hawking and Colin Powell. Get it up right away-like this week if possible. An article quoting the Heartland Institute spokesperson said it was a 1 day fee of $200 for the digital billboard. Wonder if that is true?
I had no idea that these people were purely evil. Sorry to have been naive. I thought there were a very few evil individuals in such groups, but now I realize the entire institution was evil.
Some alternative Heartland posters can be found here;
Better late than see this country be turned into eco-mush!

- History of Universal Orlando
- Islands Of Adventure Park Express Passes
Islands of Adventure Overview
Opened in 2000, Islands of Adventure mixes the 'edge' that made Universal famous with the 'theming' that made Disney famous. In fact, some of Disney's imagineers were hired by Universal to help develop this park - not to mention that Steven Speilberg himself also served as creative consultant. Islands of Adventure is divided into 5 distinct areas, each offering some of the best attractions in Orlando.
Islands of Adventure Rides and Attractions
Wizarding World of Harry Potter
Port of Entry
Port of Entry does a terrific job of setting the tone for your visit to Islands of Adventure. Themed to reflect the crossroads of a Port town, here you will find some interesting and intriguing shops, as well as some of the best theming detail in the park. The stores here are decidedly unique. Of course you have the standard 'theme park souvenir stores' that do a good job of pushing all the t-shirts. Of particular interest though are the candy store (which is attached to the Port of Entry Christmas Shoppe), and the Christmas Shoppe itself. Oddly enough, this is also one of the most photogenic areas of the park, as it is rich in detail and theming. Be sure to take some time during your visit and take some pictures in this area of the park - you'll be happy you did.
What you need to know about Islands Of Adventure
If you arrive at the park when it opens, you'll likely be able to experience just about everything the park has to offer in one day. During peak season, that tends to be a bit more challenging, but not all together impossible.
Universal "Meal Deal": Universal offers a "meal deal" that allows you to effectively eat as much as you want at select counter service locations. The one park meal deal is $20.99 plus tax for adults, and $10.99 pus tax for children ages 3-9. The two park meal deal is $24.99 plus tax for adults and $12.99 for children. Neither offer includes beverages, but the two park Meal Deal does include a dinner entre at select CityWalk restaurants. More details
A very 'wet' park: We really can't stress this enough. Islands of Adventure tends to be a VERY wet park. Three of its biggest attractions (Popeye and Bluto's Bilge Rat Barges, Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls and Jurassic Park River Adventure) have a habit of soaking you to the bone. For this reason, we suggest that you consider bringing a change of clothes with you to the park. A common mistake most people make is they think that since Florida is hot, they will dry off quickly - keep in mind that when Florida is hot, it's also humid - and nothing is worse then perpetually wet clothes when you're walking around a theme park.

Comment: They fit like a glove, PUN intended. The sizing chart is right on. Very comfortable and stylish.
MJ Maassen
Sumas WA
Comment: I bought that gloves(size L) for my son as a Xmas present. He is not very big boy and size L was just for him. Good for warm weather.
Fort Worth,TX
Comment: I ordered my gloves and they were shipped separately from my other items but arrived on time. The gloves breathe great while riding. I didn't feel my hands heating up or sweating at all. The size fit me perfectly. I would recommend these gloves to anyone. They're comfortable and get the job done. But, they are casual riding gloves. Not much protection offered by them. Good enough for me though.

Just show me Pet Friendly North Wales Cottages
Our pet friendly cottages in North Wales make ideal tail-wagging
breaks, whether you're looking for a short getaway offseason or
a place for your main annual holiday.
This ever-popular region boasts a wealth of wonderful countryside
and coastal walks, often weaving through Areas of Outstanding
Natural Beauty. And walking will always be top priority for
'Scamp' whatever the weather!
From your pet friendly cottage in north Wales, ramble around the
coastal paths of Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula - don't miss
the breathtaking cliff-top and beachside walk from Nefyn to
Porthdinllaen. Or head for the North Wales Path, stretching from
Bangor to Prestatyn.
Enjoy a full day's romp exploring the magical mountains of
Snowdonia, with scenic upland, riverside, lakeside and forest
trails in abundance. Or discover the equally impressive landscapes
of the Clwydian Range in the Borderlands.
A number of country estates allow dogs within the main grounds,
including Chirk Castle, Penrhyn Castle and Erddig. And if you fancy
something less energetic, hop aboard one of the delightful narrow
gauge steam trains - try the Bala Lake Railway, the Ffestiniog
Railway or the Welsh Highland Railway, which takes in the
mind-blowing Aberglaslyn Pass.
So bring your best friend along to a pet friendly cottage in north
Wales - you'll not be disappointed!

Interior designer Alison Victoria began designing at the ripe age of 10 when she asked her mom if she could tackle the basement in their new house. After completing her studies at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Alison started her professional career as the youngest designer working for Christopher Homes in Las Vegas and was responsible for creating stunning interior designs for affluent, semi-custom residences. Two years later, Alison launched her own full-service interior design firm, Alison Victoria Interiors, Inc., in Chicago and Las Vegas, where she brings design and personality together at boutiques, resorts and private residences. She also created her own line of modern luxury furniture that defines sleek and chic. As if having her own company and line of furniture is not enough for a young designer, Alison also serves as creative director for the Silverton Casino Hotel in Las Vegas where she oversaw its $160 million expansion. Alison's passion for interior architecture has taken her from the Windy City of Chicago, where she designed a unit in Trump tower, to the Entertainment Capital of the World, where she completed a pavilion for a Las Vegas hotel. When Alison isn't designing a fabulous room for a client, she is traveling the world to explore and to find eclectic pieces for her own home collection. On DIY Network's Kitchen Crashers, Alison hunts in stores across America for weekend warriors who could definitely use some help bringing style, beauty and simplicity together to create harmony in their kitchens.

text: Lincoln is so similar to Peter Over There, and I think I could see her forming a deeper bond with him. Not only does he admit to loving her, but AltLivia trusts him enough, not only with her life but with that of her baby's as well. If she'd died, she wanted him to care for her baby and protect him. I'm definitely interested in watching this pan out. ^^ I can see Lincoln as a definite father figure to AltDunham 2.0, and with his suspicions about the Secretary's agenda I can see him protecting them both. Very well done ship.

Assume that each Box object has the properties x, y, width, height and have their origin at their center, and that neither the objects nor the bounding boxes rotate.
When you ask this question, you'll surely need to test other types of intersections in the future ;). Therefore I suggest THE LIST about Object/Object intersection. The table provides intersections between all popular object types (boxes, spheres, triangles, cyclinders, cones, ...) in static as well as dynamic situations. |
(C-ish pseudocode - adapt language optimizations as appropriate)
In English: On each axis, check to see if the centers of the boxes are close enough that they'll intersect. If they intersect on both axes, then the boxes intersect. If they don't, then they don't. You can change the <'s to <= if you want to count edge-touching as intersecting. If you want a specific edge-touch-only formula, you can't use == - that will tell you if the corners touch, not if the edges touch. You'd want to do something logically equivalent to It's worth mentioning that you can get a small but significant speed increase by storing the half-width and half-height in addition to (or instead of) the full width and full height. On the other hand, it's rare for 2d bounding box intersection to be the performance bottleneck. |
This works for two rectangles aligned with the X and Y axis.
I found the original function here: http://tekpool.wordpress.com/2006/10/11/rectangle-intersection-determine-if-two-given-rectangles-intersect-each-other-or-not/ |
If you want object-aligned bounding boxes, try this tutorial on the seperation axis theorem by metanet: http://www.metanetsoftware.com/technique/tutorialA.html SAT isn't the fastest solution, but it's relatively simple. You're trying to find a single line (or a plane if 3D) that will seperate your objects. If this line exists it's guarenteed to be paralell to the edge of one of your boxes, so you iterate through all edges testing to see if it seperates the boxes. This also works for axis-aligned boxes by constraining to just the x/y axis. |
Actually that arithmetic works fine either way. You can do any arithmetic operation to either side of the < and it doesn't change it (multiplication by a negative means you have to change the less than, though). In that example, the boxes shouldn't collide. If the center of box A is at 1, it spans from -4 to 6. Box b centers at 10, and spans 7.5 to 12.5, there is no collision there... Now, the method that Wallacoloo posted is not only correct, but will run faster on languages that implement short circuiting, since most checks will return false anyway, the short circuiting can cut out after a single operation, whereas the arithmetic version can only cut out after two arithmetic, one abs, and a less than operation. |
The DoBoxesIntersect above is a good pairwise solution. However, if you have a lot of boxes, you still have an O(N^2) problem, and you might find you need to do something on top of that like what Kaj refers to. (In the 3D collision detection literature, this is known as having both a broad-phase and a narrow-phase algorithm. We'll do something really fast to find all possible pairs of overlaps, and then something more expensive to see if our possible pairs are actual pairs.) The broad-phase algorithm I've used before is "sweep-and-prune"; for 2D, you'd maintain two sorted lists of the start and end of each box. As long as box movement is not >> box scale from frame to frame, the order of these lists isn't going to change much, and so you can use bubble or insertion sort to maintain it. The book "Real-Time Rendering" has a nice writeup on optimizations you can do, but it boils down to O(N+K) time in the broad phase, for N boxes, K of which overlap, and with excellent real-world performance if you can afford N^2 booleans to keep track of which pairs of boxes are intersecting from frame-to-frame. You then have O(N+K^2) time overall, which is << O(N^2) if you have many boxes but only a few overlaps. |
Alternate version of ZorbaTHut's answer:
Edit: ZorbaTHut is actually correct I just didn't pay enough attention to his answer. I was assuming that x was the left side of the box rather than the center. The answer that ZorbaTHut gave is incorrect. Take this example, and to simplify it just looking at the x-axis: a.x = 1 b.x = 10 a.width = 10 b.width = 5 abs(a.x - b.x) * 2 = 18 (a.width + b.width) = 15 Since (18 < 15) is false the intersection won't be detected. The answer that Wallacoloo gave looks correct though. (btw, I wanted to post this as a comment to Zorbas answer but I couldn't see how). |
Depending on the problem you try to solve you might be better off keeping track of your object while you move them, ie, keep a list of sorted x start and end positions and one for start and end y positions. If you have to do a LOT of overlap checks and therefore need to optimize, you can use this to your advantage, as you can immediately look up who is ending closes to your left, everyone who's ending is to the left of that can be pruned immediately. Same apply for top, bottom and right. |
The distance between centers is not the same as the distance between corners (when one box is inside the other for instance), so IN GENERAL, this solution is the correct one (me thinks). distance between centers (for, say, x): Minimum distance is

The great philosopher Jimmy Buffett tells us, "There is a fine line between Saturday Night and Sunday Morning." I guess this post would qualify as one that rides the fine line between self-promotion, a preview, and an invite to a virtual visit.
I will be presenting on Friday morning at 10:00 am in the DeVos Place Grand Gallery Room E. The focus of my talk will be on web 2.0 tools specifically useful with PK-2 students.
Here are my session goals: 1) to give attendees tools and ideas that can be applied the first day they return to their classrooms and 2) to share some of my experiences with these tools that all come "kid approved".
The hour will be split into sections with one featuring "teacher tools" and the other showcasing "student tools". All resources are free and available online.
Please check out my list of session links as a preview or as a "virtual visit" if you are unable to attend.
I always look forward to meeting lots of other MACULers. Hope to see you on Friday.

I love Mooki just beacuse the food is Awsome and the atmoshere is lovely and the price is really WOW!!!! I always take friends there!!!! Keep it up Guys !
I eat in and do take out from Mooki Noddle bar regularly. I have NEVER had a bad meal there and always find the staff friendly and the food fresh and super tasty. They often add new stuff to the menu with specials which is great although. I am pretty stuck on their Massaman Curry! They are a little out... More
In the beautiful suburb of Glenwood, this Japanese-inspired restaurant is a real gem, and great value too. Also, they now do take always. Highly recommended!
Great to have somewhere with a bit of vibe to go for dinner. Mooki has really good food, and keep their customers informed of all specials via Facebook.
My boyfriend and I had dinner at Mooki's during a recent trip to Durban, based on the advice of Jonas at Street Scene tours. (If you're visiting Durban, check them out.) We were only in Durban for a weekend, and were so glad we made time for a meal at Mooki's. The place is apparently mostly a take-out joint, but... More
Fabulous thai-asian food. No frills decor, but good food, good service. Brilliant atmosphere.
I have been to eat at this awesome little restaurant a number of times..and will keep going back for the amazing (reasonably priced) food, great atmosphere and fantastic staff :) I highly recommend this noodle bar to everyone..you wont be disappointed!!
Fantastic food at really good prices, just hard to choose what to have as everything is fresh, tasty and wonderfully described in the quirky menu. Owners always happy to accomadate any request. A great spot to visit, just wish I could get there more often.
One of my favourite restaurants in Durban by far. The decor may be basic but the food is delicious. I'm a huge fan of the ginger chilli chicken on Udon noodles followed by their Banana Chocolate spring rolls for dessert. Their prawn special on a Monday night is seriously yummy and well worth the price.
Accent on all types of Asian food with noodles as the base. Non-conventional & unusual flavours and combinations that are unique in Durban. Run by the owners whose enthusiasm shows in the welcome and service. Decor is basic - actually very basic but this is part of its charm. Venue is small so book ahead just in case the place... More

When I first joined SW I thought I'd go to group for a few weeks then I'd be able to follow the plan from home. Glad to say I've kept going to group and have decided I will continue until I reach target.
One of the reasons why I keep going to group is Lifeline Online. I love it for the food diary and also checking syns on the go. My phone is in my hand the whole time I'm in the supermarket.
A few weeks ago I discovered the My Progress area. I had 4/5 weeks to enter. At group last week I got my first half stone sticker. Then when I entered my WI online I also got an award. Now every time I login there's my wee award. I love it!
I've been reading a few diaries and was thinking about starting my own, but then thought what would I write everyday? I don't want to just log my food as I already do that and it's easier on SW website than typing it out.
I thought there was nothing else to share but there's wee bits like the awards and more about what I'm feeling and learning on SW.
I had actually started this as a normal post but it seems more like a blog post or diary. So, here you go - my first diary post.

Andy Murray will play two matches at The Boodles exhibition event next week to fine-tune his Wimbledon preparations.
Murray suffered a shock defeat to Nicolas Mahut in his opening match of the AEGON Championships at Queen's Club this week, leaving him short of grasscourt match practice ahead of Wimbledon, which starts on June 25.
The British number one, who has previously used the tournament to warm-up for the action in SW19, said: "I'm looking forward to playing The Boodles again to get some good matches on grasscourts before Wimbledon."
Organisers of The Boodles, which takes place at Stoke Park in Buckinghamshire, have announced that Murray will play matches on Wednesday and Thursday. Opponents have yet to be named.
The news ends speculation that Murray could request a wild card into next week's AEGON International in Eastbourne to get more matches under his belt.
The Stoke Park event gets under way on Tuesday when top-10 star Janko Tipsarevic will be among the players in action.

Labour MP MP brands Mike Russell a 'bully'
EDUCATION secretary Mike Russell has been accused of trying to "bully and intimidate" staff working in Scotland's college sector.
It emerged at the weekend that Mr Russell called on the chairman of Glasgow's Stow College, Kirk Ramsay, to consider his position after a private conversation about college reforms was recorded and distributed.
Speaking in Holyrood yesterday, Labour education spokesman Hugh Henry said staff are "frightened to speak out" against Mr Russell, calling him a "bully" and citing the dispute with Mr Ramsay as evidence.
Mr Russell replied that most of his meetings with the college sector are positive and said Mr Ramsay was wrong to record their meeting.
He said he had "no power to demand any individual's resignation", as ministers' power of direction over the college sector was removed by the previous Labour Scottish Executive.
Mr Russell said: "The Scottish Government believes that the college sector, like any other, needs to be led and governed by people of the highest quality and standards. Chief amongst their attributes must always be mutual trust and respect.
"The Scottish Government expects all those who lead and govern our colleges to conduct themselves in a way that was consistent with that approach."
Mr Russell did not take up Mr Henry's offer to publicly apologise to Mr Ramsay.
