Morano demonstrates idiocy of "aggregation"

Marc Morano linked to a Reason magazine column that said, in part, this:

"So to recap: Lomborg has always thought man-made global warming is a problem, but not the biggest problem facing humanity in this century."

Alright; I tend to agree with that. Water shortages and lack of clean drinking water could be a bigger problem early in this century than global warming (for example; I could think of a few more if I tried. Like Iran having nuclear weapons.)

But... Morano "aggregates" climate change news, he doesn't filter it for sense or quality. So here we find on Climate Depot (which I like to think of as Climate Desperate):

NASA Scientist Declares Climate Dissent: 'Scientific analysis must conclude the basic theory wrong!'


OK, so, then "respected" skeptic Bjorn Lomborg has always agreed that manmade global warming is a problem, just not the "biggest" problem. This would mean that he agrees with the overwhelming scientific conclusions and consensus that anthropogenic global warming is taking place and will have deleterious effects on Earth's habitability this century (but other problems might have more deleterious effects; another one I thought of is increasing bacterial resistsnce to antibiotics). But no-filter Morano links to another paper by a NASA aeronautics engineer, with no expertise in climate science, who states that there isn't global warming due to greenhouse gases! Morano doesn't tell us who we should give more weight to -- he just blithely posts anything "negative" about global warming that happens to stick to his shoe while he's shoveling manure in the stables. So thus he posts blatant contradictions.

Love that credibility factor!

OH, and by the way, I found this gem whilst searching around; also on Climate Depot:

Prof. Brocker's [sic] Claim: 'Of the really good scientists, only a handful would say global warming is not a problem' - Email is broecker@ldeo.columbia.edu

This is of course the esteemed and brilliant scientist Wallace "Wally" Broecker, one of the most noted and awarded oceanographers of the 20th century. And Morano can't spell his name right, even though he posts his email address inviting skeptics to bombard him with hostile email; an email address in which Dr. Broecker's name is SPELLED CORRECTLY!!! (I apologize to Dr. Broecker for posting it here as an example; I doubt that the traffic through my blog will cause him any problems).

Marc Morano is a festering pimple on the face of humanity.
