Waxman Asks if Pat Michaels Has Misrepresented His Funding

Rep Henry Waxman (D-CA), the ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee, has written to committee Chair Fred Upton (R-MI) requesting an investigation into whether Patrick J. Michaels misled the committee when he reported that only three per cent of his income comes fromย industry.

Michaels is a famous denier-for-hire who, as Waxman notes, has estimated previously that 40% of his income comes from the energy industry. As the only โ€œscientistโ€ who told the E&C committee that climate change is nothing to worry about, it should be interesting to question whether that opinion was bought and paid for – and by whom – especially when Pat Michaelsโ€™ personal accounting seems so casuallyย inaccurate.

Given that Michaels hailed from Virginia, maybe that stateโ€™s Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli would like to join the investigation. Heโ€™s all about holding people accountable, isnโ€™t he?
