ClimateDepot.com founder Marc Morano has been called "the Matt Drudge of climate denial," the "king of the skeptics," and "a central cell of the climate-denial machine," and he revels in these descriptions. Although he has no scientific expertise, he is adamant that manmade global warming is a "con job" based on "subprime science." Due to his history of smears and lies, Morano's media influence is usually confined to Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. But in December, CNN invited him to "debate" Bill Nye on climate science, and in doing so elevated his marginal views to the mainstream press for the first time all year.

Former Playboy CEO Christie Hefner told MSNBC that global warming is behind the record murder rate in Chicago. "Now, there are contributing factors that are not under anyone's control and may seem odd but it is factually true. One of them is actually the weather. There is a dramatic increase in gun violence when it is warmer and we are having this climate change effect that is driving that."
