Professor Patrick MichaelsIn 2004 Michaels co-authored a paper which purported to show that a half of the warming measured by weather stations was explained by economic factors, but which included the basic mathematical error of mixing up degrees with radians (see http://tinyurl.com/2e2t4h). Michaels has also written several other papers claiming to demonstrate that global warming is not occurring, which have been shown to have some similar flaws and to use cherry-picked data (see http://tinyurl.com/2jf7l4).

John Holdren, who is Professor of Environmental Science and Public Policy in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, at Harvard University, and a member of the National Academy of Sciences, told the US Senate Republican Policy Committee, that: Michaels … has published little if anything of distinction in the professional literature, being noted rather for his shrill op-ed pieces and indiscriminate denunciations of virtually every finding of mainstream climate science.
