Patrick J.
("Pat") Michaels (born February 15, 1950) is an American climatologist.
Michaels was a senior fellow in environmental studies at the Cato Institute until Spring 2019.
Until 2007 he was research professor of environmental sciences at the University of Virginia, where he had worked from 1980.A self-described skeptic on the issue of global warming, he is a past president of the American Association of State Climatologists.
He has written a number of books and papers on climate change, including Sound and Fury: The Science and Politics of Global Warming (1992), The Satanic Gases (2000), and Meltdown: The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media (2004).
He's also the co-author of Climate of Extremes: Global Warming Science They Don't Want You to Know (2009).
Michaels' viewpoint, as argued in a 2002 article in the journal Climate Research, is that the planet will see "a warming range of 1.3–3.0°C, with a central value of 1.9°C" for the 1990 to 2100 period (a value far smaller than the IPCC's average predictions).
