This month’s e‑Briefing features a discussion with climatologist and Cato scholar Pat Michaels. Pat is a past president of the American Association of State Climatologists, and is Senior Research Fellow for Research and Economic Development at George Mason University. He will address the pervasive influence global warming alarmism now has on almost every aspect of our society—from national defense, law, trade, and politics to health, education, and international development.
