The Heartland Institute

2017 is coming to a close and what a wonderful year it was for The Heartland Institute.

Heartland Institute introduced its new president, Dr. Tim Huelskamp at what many attendees hope will be an annual event on the afternoon of September 9: the Picnic for Freedom!

When it comes to human-caused global warming, most people think there are two camps: “alarmists,” those who acknowledge it, and “deniers,” those who deny it. But this is far from true.
