Read here and here. Chris Mooney is a joke among science aficionados. As a partisan disciple of the ManBearPig's level of science, he is continuously found to be knee-deep in the progressives' non-empirical attack on objective, impartial science.
"But as I commented at scienceprogress, the way I see the ledger, the religious Right gets a handful of anti-science points for views on evolution (and related rationalizations about the age of the earth, etc.), and for some dismissal of climate change theory, but the Left gets many more anti-science points for exaggerating the health and ecological risks of POPs; DDT; GMOs; plastics and plasticizers; pesticide residues; conventional agriculture; low-dose EM radiation; high-tension powerlines; climate change; population growth; resource depletion; chemical sweeteners; species extinction rates; biodiversity decline; and I’m sure the list could go on.
When Chris Mooney speaks of the world suffering from "accelerating" global warming, rest assured, as a partisan hack of the left, he is almost always absolutely wrong - massive stupidity or pathological lying can't hide the empirical, scientific evidence.
Good point, Evil D. One may now question Einstein himself, but never Hockey Stick Mann or the other climate kings.

Talking of Science, somebody should ask Chris Mooney the following:
Why may one question probably the most fundamental constant in physics (the speed of light, c), and yet if one dare question any part of the dogma of cAGW (even a part, which, according to the Revealed Truth of the IPCC is 'poorly understood’) one is excoriated as ‘a fossil fuel industry shill, an evil denier of Science’, &c.?
