Speak of the Devil...

By illconsidered on February 26, 2009.

...and he puts you on his mailing list! [Please note: Marc Morano is nowhere near as relevant as Beelzebub!! It is just a gimmick for a blog title.]

So I poked fun at Marc Morano the other day, and though he thankfully did not pop up in my comments he must have read the post because the next day I started receiving his spam.

The first email was approvingly quoting Pielke Jr, which I have no doubt thrills him. Roger's fear? Not that humanity is facing daunting challenges and may not act quickly enough, no what keeps Roger awake at night is James Hansen's belief that politicians should take marching orders from him. Of course, as usual, what Hansen really says is very reasonable and Pielke's spin is not.

Morano was also gleefully going on about how the IPCC authors are not really scientists. Readers can have a look at this excellent compilation of the 650 WG1 authors and make up their own minds. Of course the bulk of his emails are regurgitations of all the standard falsehoods but I do look forward to the prodding for new guide articles his spam will provide.

Just trying to be a glass-half-full kind of guy!

Peak Pielke
Roger Pielke Jr has stopped blogging. James Annan comments: It had appeared for some time that RPJr's his blog was on the wane, attracting little more than a handful of denialist ditto-heads, and now he's decided to knock it on the head. Personally, I found much of Roger's blogging to be…
Roger has really lost the plot (again)
Roger puts up another post (guest post, gotta love plausible deniability) about James Hansen: blah blah blah....dictator who ordered millions of people to be gassed and then burned in crematoria...blah blah blah No, he isn`t (yet) calling Hansen a Hitler, but we all know how Godwin`s Law works. Or…
Update on Prometheus on Hansen Again (Again)
Just a quick update on my recent post noting Roger Pielke's lack of integrity: Roger makes a note of my post and John Fleck's and adds this underhanded toss-off line: Hansen's forecast "did not survive the peer review process" and so did not "appear in PNAS". Of course, the alledged "prediction"…
Pielke Pity Party
Esteemed Pielkeologist, Eli Rabett points me to a post from Roger Pielke Jr complaining that he is being persecuted by the "liberal blogosphere". Apparently what prompted this was a comment from Brad DeLong on why he considers Pielke Jr to be dishonest: I do remember that what knocked my view of…

"Morano was also gleefully going on about how the IPCC authors are not really scientists."

I don't know about you, but that email (yes I am also on his list) made me laugh. Morano has no problem making up lists full of non-scientists and passing them off as a credible refute of the scientific consensus. Oh the irony...

I missed that delightful little nugget. I do love how Roger pivots between calling Hansen "boneheaded" to citing him approvingly as an authority when it advances Pielke's own antiregulation agenda to attacking strawmen of Hansen's alleged 'authoritarianism'.

I do wonder how he handles the cognitive dissonance.

Did my comment get lost in your spam queue? Too many links perhaps...
