Inhofe Aide To Launch New Global Warming Denialist Website

Zachary Roth | April 10, 2009, 5:35PM

Remember Marc Morano?

He's the staffer for Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) who's turned himself into the go-to guy for climate change denialism, sending out an email barrage to activists, journalists, Hill aides and others, in which he aggregates every misleading and flat-out false piece of "evidence" he can find to support the notion that, despite what scientists say, global warming really isn't something to worry about.

Thank You Sir, May I Have Another? Will Distorts Global Warming Data Again
