Memorializing Dr Patrick Michaels Feb 15 1950 – July 16 2022
Patrick Michaels obtained an B.A. in biological science in 1971 and an M. S. in biology in 1975 from the University of Chicago, and in 1979 he obtained his Ph.D. in ecological climatology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
His doctoral thesis was titled Atmospheric anomalies and crop yields in North America.
Patrick J. Michaels was a past president of the American Association of State Climatologists and was program chair for the Committee on Applied Climatology of the American Meteorological Society. He was a research professor of Environmental Sciences at University of Virginia for 30 years.
Michaels was a contributing author and is a reviewer of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
His writing has been published in the major scientific journals, including Climate Research, Climatic Change, Geophysical Research Letters, Journal of Climate, Nature, and Science, as well as in popular serials worldwide.
He is the author or editor of nine books on climate and its impact, and he was an author of the climate “paper of the year” awarded by the Association of American Geographers in 2004. He has appeared on most of the worldwide major media.
Dr. Michaels was a Senior Fellow at the CO2 Coalition and the Competitive Enterprise Institute.

2019 – Scientocracy: The Tangled Web of Public Science and Public Policy
Here are a few of his best zingers:
· USGCRP cheapens its already strained credibility by parroting a truly insane piece of intellectual drivel from the IPCC. Constructive suggestion: delete the entire quote.
· I have purposefully digressed and sexed-up my comments on geoengineering because in my not-short life I have witnessed and chronicled both scientific brilliance and stupidity, and geoengineering is surely the best of the latter.
· These two paragraphs of meaningless word salad are evidence for the trendy politicization of the USGCRP. Why not just say that the USGCRP will incorporate the twaddle of witch doctors into their next National Assessment.
· As a practical matter, wokeness like this is going to be soundly rejected in the November election. Why not get ahead of the curve and quit this stuff while you’re ahead?
· This word salad could easily be condensed. Suggested change: “USGCRP and its agencies will become increasingly “woke”
Dr Michaels’ key comment on the climate scam
“The conference has a moral duty to examine the corruption of science that can be caused by massive amounts of money.
The United States has disbursed tens of billions of dollars to climate scientists who would not have received those funds had their research shown climate change to be beneficial or even modest in its effects.
Are these scientists being tempted by money? And are the very, very few scientists whose research is supported by industry somehow less virtuous?”
Editor’s note: Dr Michaels was just 72 when he died. Could he be the latest fully ‘vaccinated’ person to die a ‘sudden unexpected’ death?

The last comments from Dr Micheals confirm what Eisenhower warned us about in his farewell address. America and the rest of the world should have listened.

He will be missed for his contribution to the mythical dangerous man-made global warming alarmism debate.
