# Patrick J. Michaels discusses the politicization of climate science. 

Senior Fellow Patrick J. Michaels talks about global warming alarmism’s invasion of almost every aspect of our society- from national defense, law, trade, and politics to health, education, and international development. This unprecedented takeover is documented in *[Climate Coup](https://www.cato.org/store/books/climate-coup-global-warming-s-invasion-our-government-our-lives)*, a new book published by the Cato Institute.
