Climate Depot slammed as promoting 'pseudoskepticism' & declared 'the front group du jour'
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-can-be-done-about-pseudoskepticism/
Climate change is the latest arena for pseudoskepticism, and the front group du jour is ClimateDepot.com, financed in part by Chevron and Exxon and headed by a colorful character named Marc Morano, who told Kenner: "I'm not a scientist, but I do play one on TV occasionally … hell, more than occasionally." Morano's motto to challenge climate science, about which he admits he has no scientific training, is "keep it short, keep it simple, keep it funny." That includes ridiculing climate scientists such as James E. Hansen of Columbia University. "You can't be afraid of the absolute hand-to-hand combat metaphorically. And you've got to name names, and you've got to go after individuals," he says, adding with a wry smile, "I think that's what I enjoy the most."
