How interesting.
 
Michaels will be just fine.

". . . His writing has been published in major scientific journals, including Climate Research, Climatic Change, Geophysical Research Letters, Journal of Climate, Nature, and Science, as well as in popular serials such as the Washington Post, Washington Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Houston Chronicle, and Journal of Commerce.[SUP][2][/SUP] He was an author of the climate "paper of the year" awarded by the Association of American Geographers in 2004.[SUP][2]"[/SUP]
 
No mention of Pat Michaels is complete without watching him whoring for Monsanto in a hilarious interview and getting his claims challenged...err, directly.

He walks off the set, naturally.

That's Patrick Moore, not Patrick Michaels. You remain factually challenged.

Oops.

My bad.

Those deniers all kinda blend in together, if you know what I mean.


No- Michaels is the guy who claimed in 1990 that the vogue environmental threat would be the next Ice Age, then in 1999 that we would have a statistically significant cooling trend over the next decade. And he still is claiming that, even though he’s been embarrassingly wrong (yet well compensated, because he’s doing his job sowing doubt, of course).

Guess one dead Koch prompted this.

Now Pat Michaels will have to go work for Monsanto and defend Roundup some more. (Did you know you could drink a whole quart of it?)

POLITICS: Cato closes its climate shop; Pat Michaels is out -- Wednesday, May 29, 2019 -- www.eenews.net

I wonder if another dead Koch might close Heartland for good.

With temperature records being shattered year-in-year-out, month after month; there comes a time when these organizations start losing subscribers because of the ridiculous denier rhetoric. Among millenial Republicans, AGW is very real, by a vast majority.

Yes climate deniers are becoming a smaller and smaller minority in the US.

'Americans are waking up': two thirds say climate crisis must be addressed | Environment | The Guardian

While big American investors are also starting to acknowledging the urgent need for action.

"The world’s biggest fossil fuel companies must take action on climate change or their directors could face being voted out of their jobs, the head of one of the world’s leading asset managers has warned.

In an exclusive interview with the Guardian, Ron O’Hanley, the chief executive of State Street, said his firm could consider taking the radical step of voting against the reappointment of entire company boards if they were not taking sufficient action to deal with the climate crisis.

While it would be “very dangerous” to vote out directors without reason, he said State Street could resort to the measure if it judged company managers were not reacting to the risks climate change posed to their business model or engaging with the transition away from oil, gas and coal."
