B.A. (Hons), Economics, Queen’s University (1988).³

Background

Ross McKitrick is an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Guelph. McKitrick is also a senior fellow at the Fraser Institute, a libertarian think tank based in Vancouver, British Columbia.⁴

According to his CV, McKitrick became an assistant professor of economics at the University of Guelph in 1996 and an associate professor of economics in 2001.⁵

McKitrick “has been actively studying climate change, climate policy and environmental economics since the mid-1990s,” and he “has also written policy analyses for numerous Canadian and international think tanks,” according to his Fraser Institute profile.⁶

McKitrick co-authored the 2002 book Taken By Storm with fellow climate skeptic Christopher Essex. According to the book’s description, the “assumption that we know what is happening and how to control it” regarding climate change is false. The revised version was released in 2008.⁷

The book won the Donner Prize, awarded by The Donner Canadian Foundation, a nonprofit founded by steel industrialist William H. Donner. The foundation has given money to several groups promoting climate change skepticism, such as the Frontier Center for Public Policy, and it also gave a total of at least $5 million to the Fraser Institute, according to records from the CRA reviewed by DeSmog.⁸

Stance on Climate Change

Ross McKitrick is an endorser of the Cornwall Alliance‘s “An Evangelical Declaration on Global Warming,” which states:⁹

“We deny that carbon dioxide—essential to all plant growth—is a pollutant. Reducing greenhouse gases cannot achieve significant reductions in future global temperatures, and the costs of the policies would far exceed the benefits.”¹⁰

Key Quotes

June 16, 2016

“Calculations behind the social cost of carbon need to reflect empirical evidence about low climate sensitivity, and when this is done, the numbers appear to be much lower than those currently in use.”¹¹

May 11, 2015

“The phony claim of 97 per cent consensus is mere political rhetoric aimed at stifling debate and intimidating people into silence.”¹²

April 1, 2012

“I abhor Earth Hour. Abundant, cheap electricity has been the greatest source of human liberation in the 20th century. Every material social advance in the 20th century depended on the proliferation of inexpensive and reliable electricity.”¹³

February 26, 2012

“The bottom line for Canada is that Kyoto will precipitate a recession that will cause a permanent reduction in employment, income and the size of our economy. And if global warming is going to happen Kyoto will do nothing whatsoever to prevent it or even slow it down. Why are we still considering it?”¹⁴

Key Actions

July 29, 2025

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced that John Christy, Judith Curry, Steven E. Koonin, Ross McKitrick, and Roy W. Spencer were members of the Department of Energy’s “2025 Climate Working Group” assembled by Energy Secretary Chris Wright.¹⁵

Together, the working group co-authored the DOE report “A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate.”¹⁶

The DOE summarized the report in a press release as “evaluating existing peer-reviewed literature and government data on climate impacts of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions and providing a critical assessment of the conventional narrative on climate change.”

“Among the key findings, the report concludes that CO2-induced warming appears to be less damaging economically than commonly believed, and that aggressive mitigation strategies may be misdirected. Additionally, the report finds that U.S. policy actions are expected to have undetectably small direct impacts on the global climate and any effects will emerge only with long delays,” the DOE noted in the press release.

“The rise of human flourishing over the past two centuries is a story worth celebrating. Yet we are told—relentlessly—that the very energy systems that enabled this progress now pose an existential threat,” said Chris Wright.

“Climate change is real, and it deserves attention. But it is not the greatest threat facing humanity. As someone who values data, I know that improving the human condition depends on expanding access to reliable, affordable energy,” Wright added.

The DOE website offered the following summary of the report:¹⁷

“This report:

“Reviews scientific certainties and uncertainties in how anthropogenic emissions of CO2 and other GHGs have affected, or will affect, the Nation’s climate, extreme weather events, and metrics of societal well-being.

“Assesses the near-term impacts of elevated concentrations of CO2, including enhanced plant growth and reduced ocean alkalinity.

“Evaluates data and projections regarding long-term impacts of elevated concentrations of CO2, including estimates of future warming.

“Finds that claims of increased frequency or intensity of hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and droughts are not supported by U.S. historical data.

“Asserts that CO2-induced warming appears to be less damaging economically than commonly believed, and that aggressive mitigation policies could prove more detrimental than beneficial.

“Finds that U.S. policy actions are expected to have undetectably small direct impacts on the global climate and any effects will emerge only with long delays.”

The full report claimed that “Elevated concentrations of CO2 directly enhance plant growth, globally contributing to ‘greening’ the planet and increasing agricultural productivity.”¹⁸

Authors concluded in the executive summary that “Both models and experience suggest that CO2-induced warming might be less damaging economically than commonly believed, and excessively aggressive mitigation policies could prove more detrimental than beneficial.”¹⁹

They added, “U.S. policy actions are expected to have undetectably small direct impacts on the global climate and any effects will emerge only with long delays.”²⁰

McKitrick wrote a Fraser Institute study titled “The Economic Impact and GHG Effects of the Federal Government’s Emissions Reduction Plan through 2030,”²¹ that he later discussed on Bridge City News.²²

“Even on their own reckoning of what the benefits are of reducing emissions, and I think that they’ve overstated the benefits, but even if we take that at face value, the package costs at least three times as much as the benefits that they say it will generate,” McKitrick claimed during the interview.

He also discussed the study in an op-ed at the Financial Post titled “Liberals’ emissions reduction plan will impose massive costs on Canadians,” where he claimed that “the package as a whole is so harmful to the economy it’s unlikely to be implemented — and it still wouldn’t reach the GHG goal even if it were.”²³

June 15, 2023

McKitrick wrote a Financial Post article titled “The truth about forest fires goes up in climate-change smoke,” where he claimed that “Science tells us forest fires are not becoming more common and the average area burned peaked 30 years ago.”²⁴

February 25, 2022

McKitrick wrote an article in the Financial Post titled “Don’t be afraid to debate climate science.”²⁵

“[T]here’s no way for any country to achieve net-zero without experiencing ruinous economic hardship,” McKitrick wrote. “These days it seems the only way to get elected is to commit to this goal and lie about your plan to get there.”

He added, “For large-C Conservatives who want a clever electoral strategy, an additional problem is that much of the base isn’t interested in playing this game. They believe, rightly, that climate change is not an existential crisis and that most public discussion of it is exaggerated fearmongering. And they have most mainstream science and economics on their side.”

He concluded, “Conservatives who want to lead on the climate issue must start by debating the extremists who currently dominate the discussion.”

August 10, 2021

Ross McKitrick published a study that the Epoch Times claimed “weakened the IPCC’s case that greenhouse gases cause climate change.”²⁶ ²⁷

He also discussed the study on Judith Curry‘s Blog, Climate Etc. McKitrick described his study as a critique of “Checking for model consistency in optimal fingerprinting” by Myles Allen and Simon Tett, which Climate Dynamics published in 1999.²⁸

Economist and Global Warming Policy Foundation advisor Richard Tol backed McKitrick:²⁹

“McKitrick is right,” Tol said, claiming the previous paper by Allen and Tett had “made things worse, not better.”

“The implications are unclear. Many of the papers that use the fingerprinting method to detect the impact of climate change are simply wrong,” Tol claimed.

March 18, 2021

PressProgress reported that a Fraser Institute report by Ross McKitrick and Almira Aliakbari titled “Estimated Impacts of a $170 Carbon Tax in Canada” was uncritically cited by a major newspaper chain in British Columbia.³⁰ ³¹

The report claimed a federal carbon tax of $170 per tonne by 2030 would “cause a 1.8% drop in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which works out to about $1,540 in current dollars per employed person, and the loss of about 184,000 jobs nationwide.”³²

PressProgress noted that Victoria News columnist Tom Fletcher also cited the report. Fletcher suggested the tax would cost “more than 20,000 jobs” in BC.³³

April 7, 2020

As reported at PressProgress, the Fraser Institute was among Koch-funded groups that used the COVID pandemic as a reason to promote the use of plastic bags over reusable bags. In an email with the title “Suddenly, plastic is looking pretty good again,” the Fraser Institute linked to a study by Ross McKitrick.³⁴

The email reads:

“It is easy to forget that much of our reliance on plastic packaging was motivated by the need for public hygiene.

“The coronavirus reminds us that public hygiene remains an important priority. Just weeks after banning plastic bags, New York temporarily suspended implementation of the law, while urging people to remember to wash their reusable cloth bags.

“The Fraser Institute’s Ross McKitrick has a great article about this in today’s Financial Post. Check it out below or read it here and please be sure to share it with your friends and colleagues!”³⁵

McKitrick’s full article appeared in the Financial Post on April 7.³⁶

“Would you want to buy a toothbrush from a bin that a hundred people rummaged through? As for disposable plastic water bottles, this is surely one of the great public health inventions of the modern age. They are remarkably cheap and they save us the ordeal of shared public water fountains,” McKitrick wrote.

“Whether or not a ban on plastic bags has big implications for public health, the better question to ask is whether it (or similar bans on single-use plastics) will do any good for the world’s oceans,” McKitrick added. “The answer is no. Canada’s single-use plastics are not the source of ocean contamination. Banning them will impose costs and inconvenience here while doing nothing to fix the problem.”

“[F]or those who have lamented our use of plastic packaging over the years, it’s understandable, especially since the marketers sometimes make excessive use of the stuff. But the coronavirus shows that public hygiene was, and remains, an important priority, and we downplay it at our peril,” he concluded.

PressProgress notes that “the Fraser Institute’s claims about the health benefits of plastic bags miss their mark in significant ways,” including that “there have been no specific scientific studies looking into whether bags made of any material, cloth or plastic, are actually spreading COVID-19.”³⁷

“In fact, a recent study found COVID-19 lives significantly longer on plastic surfaces than it does on paper or cloth, a point that would appear to contradict the premise of the Fraser Institute’s argument.”³⁸

Looking at groups in the U.S., Mother Jones has suggested “the timing of these messages suggests a concerted public relations campaign by the plastic industry,” highlighting groups like the Manhattan Institute, Competitive Enterprise Institute, and Independent Women’s Forum.³⁹

February 5, 2020

McKitrick wrote an article at Troy Media, where he claimed we must “fight climate extremists before they upend society.” In the article, McKitrick divided groups on the climate issue into the “A” group of “doubters. They don’t believe greenhouse gases (GHGs) do much harm and they don’t support expensive climate-policy interventions” the “B” group who “ believe, or say they believe, that GHG emissions are a problem and must be reduced” but are “vague on the question of how much and when,” and group “C” who “fear a climate catastrophe, they foresee a crisis and they want urgent action, regardless of cost, to stop it.”⁴⁰

According to McKitrick, in the United States, “the Bs long ago recognized the true aspirations of the Cs and aligned themselves with the A crowd. They realized in the process that it’s a surprisingly large and energetic constituency, thus creating a coalition capable of keeping the U.S. energy sector alive and the economy growing.”

He adds that those in the B group “must win this fight” against those who think climate change is the most pressing problem.

“At stake are the livelihoods of millions of ordinary people whose jobs and living standards will be destroyed if C prevails, not to mention the hopes of billions of people who want to rise out of poverty.”

In conclusion, McKitrick added:

“Climate and energy policy has fallen into the hands of a worldwide movement that openly declares its extremism. The would-be moderates on this issue have pretended for 20 years they could keep the status quo without having to fight for it. Those days are over.”

September 17, 2019

McKitrick appeared on the Heartland Daily Podcast hosted by Anthony Watts.⁴¹

McKitrick dismissed the social cost of carbon, repeating a talking point that increasing atmospheric CO2 would provide a net benefit to agriculture:

“The social cost of carbon isn’t even necessarily a positive number when you use empirically estimated climate sensitivity numbers and you allow for, what we know to be the case, which is CO2 fertilization and productivity gains in agriculture.”⁴²

While McKitrick conceded fossil fuel consumption increases CO2 in the atmosphere and concurrently raises overall temperatures, he concludes this is a good thing and we will adapt:

“We do put a lot of CO2 into the air. Using fossil fuels has led to a large amount of CO2 going into the atmosphere over a fairly short period of time. And I think in a sense we’ve dodged a bullet, because it turns out, from the evidence that I’ve seen and I think the evidence out there, that the effect of this extra CO2 is very much on the low end of the scale from what it could have been. […]

“Even if the upper end of the global warming projections turned out to be valid, we still might, on economic grounds, just say it’s still too good a deal to pass up.

“We’re going to live with the consequences and we’re going to keep using fossil fuels. But it’s even better than that. I think the best evidence says, no, we’ll probably get a bit of warming from CO2 but it’s going to be on the low end and it’s a mix of good and bad changes to the climate, and it’s also just stuff that we can adapt to over time.”

August 13, 2019

McKitrick appeared in a Nature Communications article that ranked 386 “climate change contrarians” based on media visibility. The article also ranked bona fide climate scientists and found that deniers had nearly 50 percent more visibility in the media than mainstream scientists.⁴³

McKitrick was ranked #41 among other noted deniers, including Marc Morano (#1), Sen. James Inhofe, Energy Secretary Rick Perry, Steven Hayward, Judith Curry, Freeman Dyson, John Hinderaker, and Roy Spencer.⁴⁴

The event description read as follows:⁴⁷

“At the America First Energy Conference, we plan to examine—one year and one day after Trump’s shocking Election Day victory—the following:

“Where does Trump’s America First Energy Plan stand?

“How much progress has been made in implementing it, and what remains to be done?

“What scientific and economic evidence is there that the plan is putting the nation on the right path for economic growth, environmental protection, or both?”⁴⁸

In a fundraising letter obtained by DeSmog, Fred Palmer had promoted the event as having the goal to “review the scientific and economic evidence that exposes the fraud inherent in the Obama-era regulation regime” while discussing “the overwhelming benefits of fossil fuels to us all.”⁴⁹

Many of the other speakers have regularly spoken at the Heartland Institute’s past ICCCs. Notable speakers listed so far include Joe Bast, Fred Palmer, Roger Bezdek, H. Sterling Burnett, Hal Doiron, Paul Driessen, John Dale Dunn, Myron Ebell, Heartland’s new President Tim Huelskamp, Craig Idso, David Legates, Jay Lehr, Anthony Lupo, Ross McKitrick, Steve Milloy, Todd Myers, John Nothdurt, David Schnare, and numerous others.⁵⁰

Ross McKitrick was a speaker at the Fourth Santa Fe Conference on Global & Regional Climate Change. According to the conference program (PDF), McKitrick’s speech was titled “Empirically-Constrained Climate Sensitivity and the Social Cost of Carbon.”⁵⁴ ⁵⁵

The Fourth Santa Fe Conference was sponsored by the Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Center for Earth and Space Science and co-sponsored by the American Meteorological Society.⁵⁶

It was the fourth in a series of conferences with the stated purpose of bringing together researchers “with varied interpretations of current and past global and regional climate change, to present the latest research results (observations, modeling and analysis), and to provide speaking and listening opportunities to top climate experts and students.” The first conference took place in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 2001. Both the second and the third were in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 2006 and 2011, respectively.⁵⁷

September 27, 2016

Ross McKitrick presented to a Committee of the Canadian Senate (PDF), where he advocated for the development of oil pipelines in Canada. He claimed that “activists […] exploit the natural monopoly of pipelines to impose an environmental agenda that failed to obtain support through the environmental policymaking process.”⁵⁹

“[B]lockading pipeline resource development is neither a smart nor sustainable approach to pursuing environmental goals,” McKitrick said. “Completion of an interprovincial pipeline would be a boost for national unity and economic development, and it would be entirely consistent with the smart, technology-driven approach to environmental management that we have successfully pursued for many decades.”⁶⁰

July 2016

Herb Pinder published an article in the Regina Post Leader citing Ross McKitrick as having “discredited conceptually, mathematically” the models of climate scientist Michael Mann. Pinder quotes McKitrick as saying, “there has been no statistically significant temperature change for the past 15-20 years.”⁶¹

Michael Mann posted a response in the same paper, noting that Herb Pinder is associated with the free market advocacy group the Fraser Institute, and saying Pinder “did a disservice to your readers by promoting falsehoods about climate change and making untruthful statements about my own scientific work.”⁶²

Mann writes:

“In attempting to malign my own work, Pinder cites fellow Fraser Institute climate change denier Ross McKitrick, someone with no scientific credentials whose specious claims have been rejected by actual scientists.

[…]

“McKitrick’s attacks have nothing at all to do with climate models. Instead they concern the well-known “hockey stick” temperature curve I published in the late 1990s that demonstrates recent warming to be unprecedented in at least 1,000 years.”

In a third article, also in Regina Leader-Post, Ross McKitrick responded:⁶³

“Mann said of me that I have ‘no scientific credentials’ and that my work is ‘specious’ and has been ‘rejected by actual scientists.’ I have published dozens of studies in the field, including in many leading climate science journals.”

May 18, 2016

Ross McKitrick was a signatory to a full-page color advertisement in The New York Times titled “Abuse of Power” (PDF) sponsored by The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI). The ad serves as an open letter from 43 signatories, including organizations and individuals, in response to New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, U.S. Virgin Islands Attorney General Claude Walker, and the coalition of Attorneys General investigating groups denying human-made climate change.⁶⁴ ⁶⁵

“Attempts to intimidate CEI and our allies and silence our policy research are unconstitutional,” said CEI president Kent Lassman. “The First Amendment protects us and everyone has a duty to respect it – even state attorneys general. CEI will continue to fight for all Americans to support the causes in which they believe.”⁶⁶

The Competitive Enterprise Institute received a subpoena from AG Walker on April 7, 2016. On April 20, CEI filed an objection to the subpoena, calling it “offensive,” “un-American,” and “unlawful,” and is contending that AG Walker is “violating CEI’s First Amendment rights.”⁶⁷

ExxonMobil’s legal team echoed the “freedom of speech” argument, as did numerous other conservative groups, including the Pacific Legal Foundation, the Heritage Foundation, and the recently formed Free Speech in Science Project, a group created by the same lawyers who defended the Competitive Enterprise Institute in the past.⁶⁸

Ross McKitrick participated in a debate at the University of Toronto (Scarborough Campus) for high school students on the topic of climate change. The resolution was: “Should we be skeptical about the science suggesting that GHG emissions are the primary cause of global climate change?”⁶⁹

McKitrick argued for the “Yes” position against his opponent, Dr. Tanzina Mohsin, a climate scientist at the University of Toronto. Video below.⁷⁰

Ross McKitrick was a featured speaker at a conference titled “The Climate Surprise: Why CO2 Is Good for the Earth” hosted by the CO2 Coalition and The New Criterion in New York City.⁷¹

According to the event description, “Members of the CO2 Coalition and many other experts argue that carbon dioxide enrichment of the atmosphere provides manifold benefits for humanity. And observed surface warmings are much smaller than predicted by climate models. Economic models that fail to include the benefits of CO2 and the serious exaggerations of climate models and are being used to advocate “cures” that are much worse than the non-existent disease.”⁷² ⁷³

May 11, 2015

Ross McKitrick publishes a comment piece in the Financial Post titled, “The con in consensus: Climate change consensus among the misinformed is not worth much.” Within the piece, McKitrick writes that “massive activist pressure is on all governments, especially Canada’s, to fall in line with the global warming agenda and accept emission targets that could seriously harm [Canada’s] economy.”⁷⁵

March 1, 2015

McKitrick continues by calling the 97 percent consensus, that “climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities,” among peer-reviewed climate science literature, “a fabrication,” and that it would be a “tragedy” to “throw Canada’s economy under the climate change bandwagon.”⁷⁶ ⁷⁷

A Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) briefing paper titled “The Small Print: What the Royal Society Left Out“ that accused the Royal Society of “presenting a misleading picture of climate science,” listed McKitrick as a writer/endorser.⁷⁸ ⁷⁹

“As an example, the Royal Society addresses the question of why Antarctic sea ice is growing,” said Prof Ross McKitrick, the chairman of the GWPF’s Academic Advisory Council, “but in doing so they present a recently proposed hypothesis as if it were settled science. Failing to admit when the answer to an important question is simply not known does a disservice to the public. We believe that this new paper does a much better job of presenting the whole picture to the public.”⁸⁰

The paper was written/endorsed by the following “experts”:⁸¹

December 2014

Ross McKitrick is a contributor to the book Climate Change: The Facts, published by the Institute of Public Affairs and featuring “22 essays on the science, politics and economics of the climate change debate.” The Institute of Public Affairs, while not revealing most of its funders, is known to have received funding from mining magnate Gina Rinehart and at least one major tobacco company.⁸²

The book includes essays and articles from a range of climate change skeptics, with contributors including the following:

According to Editor Alan Moran in a post at Catallaxy Files blog on Climate Change: the facts 2014, Ross McKitrick “addresses the trials he and Steve McIntyre went through in puncturing the newly coined late twentieth century myth that temperatures are now higher than at any time in the past millennium.”⁸³

October 30, 2014

Ross McKitrick was the co-author of a Fraser Institute report titled “What Goes Up,” which recommends that the government look at a moratorium and new wind and solar power facilities, as well as re-open four coal-burning power plants to curb increases in electricity prices. See the whole report here (PDF).⁸⁴

The Toronto Sun reports how the provincial government did not heed the Fraser Institute’s report and continues to pursue wind and solar energy projects.⁸⁵

McKitrick was the “coordinator” for the Fraser Institute‘s “Independent Summary for Policymakers” (ISPM) of the IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report.⁹⁰

The ISPM concludes that “there will remain an unavoidable element of uncertainty as to the extent that humans are contributing to future climate change, and indeed whether or not such change is a good or bad thing.”⁹¹

Other authors included well-known global warming skeptics such as Joseph D’aleo, Madhav Khandekar, William Kininmonth, Christopher Essex, Wibjorn Karlen, and Tad Murty.⁹²

2006

McKitrick was a co-author of a paper published by the Interfaith Stewardship Alliance (Now the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation) titled “A Call to Truth, Prudence and the Protection of the Poor: An Evangelical Response to Global Warming.” Authors of the paper included prominent deniers Calvin Beisner, Paul K. Driessen, and Roy W. Spencer.⁹³

The Cornwall Alliance’s paper was a response to an open letter titled “Climate Change: An Evangelical Call to Action,” which was created by a group titled the Evangelical Climate Initiative.

“An Evangelical Call to Action” concludes that:⁹⁴

Climate Change is Real.
The Consequences of Climate Change Will Be Significant, and Will Hit the Poor the Hardest.
Christian Moral Convictions Demand Our Response to the Climate Change Problem.
The need to act now is urgent. Governments, businesses, churches, and individuals all have a role to play in addressing climate change—starting now.

The Cornwall Alliance’s paper contends that “All of these assumptions…are false, probably false, or exaggerated.”

January 27, 2005

Ross McKitrick and Steve McIntyre state their “research shows fundamental flaws in the ‘hockey stick graph’ used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,” in a “backgrounder” produced to summarize their recently published articles:⁹⁵

“The main error affects a step called principal component analysis (PCA). We showed that the PCA method as used by Mann et al. effectively mines a data set for hockey stick patterns. Even from meaningless random data (red noise), it nearly always produces a hockey stick.”⁹⁶

2005

McKitrick appeared on a Friends of Science (FoS) video titled Climate Catastrophe Cancelled. Other prominent climate change skeptics are featured, including Tim Ball, Sallie L. Baliunas, and Tim Patterson.

The FoS website includes a description of Climate Catastrophe Cancelled:⁹⁷

“Contrary to claims that the science of climate change has been settled, the causes of the past century’s modest warming is highly contested in the climate science community. The climate experts presenting in the video demonstrate that science is quickly diverging away from the hypothesis that the human release of greenhouse gases, specifically carbon dioxide, is having a significant impact on global climate. ‘There is absolutely no convincing scientific evidence that human-produced greenhouse gases are driving global climate change,’ stated climatologist, Dr. Tim Ball. He added that the Canadian government’s plan to designate carbon dioxide as a ‘toxic’ [sic] under CEPA is irresponsible and without scientific merit. ‘Carbon dioxide is a staff of life, plain and simple. It makes up less than 4% of greenhouse gases and it is not a toxic.'[sic]”

According to SourceWatch, the recovered costs by FoS from the University of Calgary for “video production” in 2005 amounted to $80,731.⁹⁸

2003

McKitrick and Christopher Essex organized a press conference with the Cooler Heads Coalition in 2003 to publicize their new book, Taken By Storm.⁹⁹

Copies of the book were provided “compliments of the Competitive Enterprise Institute.”¹⁰⁰

2002

Ross McKitrick and Christopher Essex publish Taken By Storm: The Troubled Science, Policy and Politics of Global Warming. The book won the 2002 Donner Book Prize, a $10K award “paid for in part by the Donner Canadian Foundation, which contributed $20K toward writing the book in 2002.”¹⁰¹

October 2000

McKitrick attended an October 2000 briefing organized by the Cooler Heads Coalition, where he joined other sceptics in criticizing the Third Assessment Report (TAR) of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).¹⁰²

The Cooler Heads coalition is a project of the National Consumers Coalition, which is comprised of 23 free-market think tanks, many of them with ties to the oil industry, including the Heartland Institute, the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow, the Pacific Research Institute, and the George C. Marshall Institute.

The Cooler Heads Coalition was originally a project of the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), which has received large donations from major corporations and industry foundations. For example, the CEI has received $2,005,000 from ExxonMobil since 1998.¹⁰³

September 2000

McKitrick wrote a letter (PDF) to the “Joint Standing Committee on Treaties Inquiry into the Kyoto Protocol, Parliament of Australia.” McKitrick summarizes his points as follows:¹⁰⁴

“I advise the Joint Standing Committee to recommend that Australia not ratify the Kyoto Protocol. This stance is justified on four grounds.

“The relative effect of GHG emissions on the global climate is subject to considerable uncertainty.
“Even if GHG emissions cause some warming, it will be slow and largely benign.
“Even if some aspect of global warming is harmful, the Kyoto Protocol will not stop it.
The costs of the Kyoto Protocol exceed any identifiable benefits.”

November 22, 1999

The Fraser Institute released a report in 1999 that disputed the Committee on the Status of Wildlife in Canada’s claim that there were 339 endangered species. Instead, the Fraser Institute preferred its own conservative estimate of 91 endangered species.¹⁰⁵

In a Canadian Press article, Stephen Legault, the spokesperson for Alberta Wilderness Association, described the report as “another effort at fearmongering and misinformation by a right-wing think tank.”¹⁰⁶

Sourcewatch reports that McKitrick sent a letter to the editor of the Guelph Mercury newspaper that accuses Legault of being “blinded by ideology.” McKitrick claimed that the U.S. Endangered Species Act “imposes draconian restrictions on use of private land on which rare species are present. Since these rules destroy property value, landowners across the U.S. now work to make their lands inhospitable to endangered species.”¹⁰⁷
