The Atlantic Mag.: Morano is a ‘professional climate-change denier’ who ‘panders to TV viewers’ by ‘trafficking in doubt’

http://www.heraldnews.com/article/20150319/ENTERTAINMENT/150315600/2052/ENTERTAINMENT And, he shows how they hoodwink us with slick PR campaigns and highly charismatic, silver-tongued pundits-for-hire, like lobbyist – and Rush Limbaugh pal – Marc Morano, who present themselves in the media as scientific authorities. Laughs Morano: “I’m not a scientist, but I play one on TV, occasionally.”

Read Climate Depot’s Hate Mail – Plus Morano on WaPo & ‘Merchants of Doubt’: ‘Having the Post describe me as a ‘jocular’ advocate for ‘ignorance’ is odd’
Having the Post describe me as a ‘jocular’ advocate for ‘ignorance’ is odd, considering I feature on Climate Depot the views of skeptical scientists like Nobel Prize winning physicist Dr. Ivar Giaever, who also appears in my upcoming film Climate Hustle.

It’s a bold and gregarious confession by one of America’s most successful professional “skeptics,” lobbyists posing as experts who […]
Wash. Post: ‘Morano is, arguably, the star of ‘Merchants of Doubt’ – ‘Morano makes for a jocular — and weirdly unapologetic — advocate for what can only be called ignorance’
He also plays dirty. In “Doubt,” Morano recounts with glee how he has published the e-mail addresses of climate scientists, subjecting them to intimidation and flaming attacks from anonymous critics. (Several of the abusive e-mails are read aloud in the film by their recipients, in an evocation of Jimmy Kimmel’s “Celebrities Read Mean Tweets” segments.) […]
