Fellow Skeptic Steven Hayward of the Powerline Blog wrote: "Marc Morano is number one" and added: “Morano is truly the Pete Rose and Hank Aaron of climate contrarians."

Warmist Randy Olson commented on the study: "Does climate community realize Marc Morano is most prolific voice of skepticism by a looooong way? He has 35% more articles than any others. There should be an Institute for the Study of Morano."

Olson added: "In 2007, I had climate “contrarian” Marc Morano in my movie "Sizzle", In 2010, I warned of his media savvy, today he is a Fox News regular & most prolific skeptic in this new article." 

Skeptic Jo Nova comments: "Marc Morano tops the Nature blacklist, and no man deserves it more. Congratulations Marc!"

Newsweek Mag. also reported on the new study and featured Climate Depot prominently.

CFACT's Craig Rucker: "While the study’s goal is severely off base, it nonetheless produced two mathematical rankings CFACT is more than a little tickled by. According to a ranking of how often “contrarians,” as the study labels us, are cited in the media, CFACT’s Marc Morano is far and away the world’s most effective climate communicator."

The journal Nature Communications study: "Prominent climate change contrarians (CCCs) and scientists (CCSs) in the media...In the new research, Petersen and colleagues looked at 386 prominent climate deniers and 386 climate scientists. They looked at 200,000 scientific journals and 100,000 media articles—from both traditional and new formats.

CFACT excerpt: Marc Morano is number one, with 4,171 media references, nearly double Senator James Inhofe’s 2,628 and Secretary Rick Perry’s 1,903.  Marc appeared in many multiples of media references compared to anyone else as you proceed down the rankings.

Climate Depot Note: The UN is rapidly trying to expand its climate regulatory reach. The 2015 UN touted the Paris climate pact which was supposed to save the planet, but alas, it turns out it was not enough according to the UN. (See: UN admits ‘historic’ Paris climate pact did not save Earth after-all! Now says: Cutting CO2 ‘not enough’ – ‘We must change food production to save the world’).

The UN is now also pushing a global environmental pact. See: UN Paris agreement ‘on steroids’- France and UN push for new legally binding global treaty on environment & UN Pushes for ‘Paris Agreement on Steroids’

The UN has also expanded into trying to regulate land use with a species extinction scare. See: Video & Submitted Written Congressional Testimony of Marc Morano – Examining UN Species/Climate Report – UN report is ‘authoritative propaganda’

And now, the UN is trying to morph into a global food police as they try and expand their regulatory power to include food production!

Morano: "This is nothing more than regulatory lifestyle controls by the UN. They are empowering themselves with this report...This is an open call by the United Nations for activist policies in taxes and regulation. And we have seen activists come out with ideas like the meat patch, like a nicotine patch, which would induce allergies to people so they won’t eat meat. It’s getting whackier and whackier."

"What's interesting is back in the 1970s, they predicted a food catastrophe based on the global colling scare."

But in 2015, the UN Paris climate pact was supposed to be enough.

Al Gore in 2015 on Paris pact: “Years from now, our grandchildren will reflect on humanity’s moral courage to solve the climate crisis and they will look to December 12, 2015, as the day when the community of nations finally made the decision to act." 

Secretary of State John F. Kerry in 2015: “This is a tremendous victory for all of our citizens–not for any one country or bloc, but a victory for all of the planet, and for future generations."

French foreign minister, Laurent Fabius in 2015: “History is coming, in fact, history is here,” he said. “On 12 December 2015, we can have a historic day, a major date to go down in the history of mankind. The date can become a message of life."

But Climate Depot's Morano warned in 2015 that the UN Paris climate pact was only the beginning: Flashback 2015: ‘Does this mean we never have to hear about ‘solving’ global warming again!?’  - Morano: "Now that the United Nations has officially 'solved' man-made global warming, does this mean we never have to hear about 'global warming' fears again!? Does this mean we can halt the endless supply of federal tax dollars funding 'climate change' studies?...Can we finally move on to other issues?...Now that the UN treaty has 'solved' global warming, can we all just move on to something else?'

Morano: "The best is 'Prince Harry speaks barefoot at this event. Nothing conveys moral authority like speaking barefoot. I almost didn’t wear shoes today because I wanted to come across with greater moral authority and a connection to the earth."

Dem Reps Raúl Grijalva and Jared Huffman on Congressional UN species hearing: "Morano's opening statement, where he accused the authors of the biodiversity report — world-renowned scientists sitting next to him at the witness table — of being 'leaders of the UN's bastardization of species-endangerment science.'"

Climate Depot Note: Yes! It was an accurate and much-needed opening statement! Video & Submitted Written Congressional Testimony of Marc Morano – Examining UN Species/Climate Report – UN report is ‘authoritative propaganda’

ThinkProgress’ Romm concluded: “If the world is to have any plausible chance of saving the climate, we need the strongest possible action by 2030, and that means we need to elect a president in 2020 who understands the urgency, and who understands that deadlines matter in the face of irreversible catastrophe.”

Hundreds of Californians packed in to hear the speech.
