Stance on Climate Change
June 10, 2011
โ[C]limate models indicate that the impact of current CO2 concentrations on the climate is slight, within the ‘noise level’ in the data. In other words, according to the climate models, we are at levels in which it is hard to distinguish the CO2 impacts from natural forces,” Myers wrote at Washington Policy Center.7โClimate Data That Sounds MeaningfulโฆBut Isn’t,โ Washington Policy Center, June 9, 2011.

On Covid
February 10, 2022
โAs alarming as the death toll from the heatwave [in Washington State] is, it is small compared to the rise in non-COVID excess deaths in Washington. These deaths are those above a normal year but were not caused by COVID itself. These include those The Seattle Times called โdeaths of despairโ related to legal mandates and social restrictions state officials imposed in their effort to fight the spread of the coronavirus,.โ Myers wrote in an article for the Washington Policy Center.8Todd Myers. “Heat wave deaths got attention, but COVID restrictions silently killed 16 times as many,” Washington Policy Center, February 10, 2022. Archived June 18, 2022. Archive URL: https://archive.ph/S6COn
โFor all of 2021, there were about 4,700 non-COVID excess deaths. That is equivalent to the deaths from the record-breaking heatwave every three weeks for an entire year,โ he added.

Key Deeds
May 27, 2020
Myers wrote an article at the Wall Street Journal critical of Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, using him as a supposed example of how โpoliticians discard the scientific method and deploy the term merely as a weapon against their opponents.โ12Todd Myers. โWhen Covid โScienceโ Is a Smokescreen,โ Wall Street Journal, May 27, 2020. Archive URL: https://archive.vn/aY7SA
Myers quoted a February 27 tweet from Inslee to Mike Pence suggesting โour work would be more successful if the Trump administration stuck to the science and told the truth.โ13Todd Myers. โWhen Covid โScienceโ Is a Smokescreen,โ Wall Street Journal, May 27, 2020. Archive URL: https://archive.vn/aY7SA
โMr. Inslee didnโt say what he meant by ‘the science.’ In fact, at the time of his tweet, there wasnโt yet much science regarding the virus at all. Weโre still learning it. What is the true mortality rate? What is a safe social distance? How contagious is the virus? What percentage of carriers are asymptomatic? We still donโt know any of these facts with certainty,โ Myers wrote.
โWhen the governor and other politicians refer to ‘the science,’ they rarely point to actual science. It is a bluff designed to imply that their chosen policy is based on more than guesswork and politics.โ
[โฆ]
โOn both climate change and the Covid-19 crisis, Mr. Inslee has either refused to provide real measures or has changed the metrics when they became politically inconvenient.โ14Todd Myers. โWhen Covid โScienceโ Is a Smokescreen,โ Wall Street Journal, May 27, 2020.

Myers wrote an article at National Review suggesting โThe Coronavirus Lockdown Has Not Made the Air Cleaner.โ Referring to levels of particulate matter, PM 2.5, Myers claimed โThe key factor, however, is that in most places, human-caused pollution is small relative to natural sources. Even a significant reduction in the human contribution makes only a small difference.โ15Todd Myers. โThe Coronavirus Lockdown Has Not Made the Air Cleaner,โ National Review, May 14, 2020. Archived June 1, 2020. Archive URL: https://archive.vn/sOwkk
Referring to reduced NO2 levels associated with driving, Myers argues that while he cannot deny numbers have come down, numbers are โdriven mostly by the influence of clouds and routine seasonal changes in the angle of the sun.โ16Todd Myers. โThe Coronavirus Lockdown Has Not Made the Air Cleaner,โ National Review, May 14, 2020. Archived June 1, 2020. Archive URL: https://archive.vn/sOwkk
โAlthough it can be harmful, NO2 is a concern primarily because it is a precursor to particulate matter and ozone. Rather than look at just NO2, we should track the actual pollutant that concerns us. Ironically, many of the misleading articles specifically leave out PM 2.5, perhaps because the data tell the wrong story,โ he wrote.17Todd Myers. โThe Coronavirus Lockdown Has Not Made the Air Cleaner,โ National Review, May 14, 2020. Archived June 1, 2020. Archive URL: https://archive.vn/sOwkk
He concludes that this is evidence that reducing vehicle travel may not be an effective way to reduce air pollution: โthe economic lockdown has provided a painful, but useful, natural experiment to test the potential benefits of future air-quality regulations. If a policy claims to reduce PM 2.5 by more than we are seeing currently, under a drastic reduction of car travel, we should be very skeptical.โ18Todd Myers. โThe Coronavirus Lockdown Has Not Made the Air Cleaner,โ National Review, May 14, 2020. Archived June 1, 2020. Archive URL: https://archive.vn/sOwkk
โEven those (or most of those) claiming our air quality is better admit that shutting down the economy is not a good approach.

Myers, representing the Washington Policy Center, is signatory to an American Energy Alliance letter to President Donald Trump supporting the Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule which would scrap federal fuel economy mandates under the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) program.20CAFE-Coaliton-to-Trump-April-2020-9 (PDF), American Energy Alliance.
Describing CAFE, the letter contends: โThose families and individuals who prefer or need trucks, SUVs, and crossovers pay more to subsidize those who buy smaller vehicles or electric vehicles under the existing mandate.

Myers and the Washington Policy Center have consistently criticized green building plans.

โMany advocates who promote LEED or similar rating systems point to the supposed carbon dioxide emission reductions achieved by green schools. The failure to save energy, or even slow the increase in energy use, wastes resources on efforts that do nothing for climate change or the environment. Instead misguided green building rules divert scarce funding from efforts that could have a positive environmental impact, or which could be used to fulfill other public needs,โ Myers claimed.37โCertified ‘Green’ Schools: Savings & Benefits Fail to Materialize in North Carolinaโ (PDF), John Locke Foundation.

The Washington Department of Ecology (DOE) released a study on the environmental impacts of building a coal-export terminal in Longview along the Lower Columbia River, highlighting a large potential increase in greenhouse gas emissions. The project would be undertaken by Millennium Bulk Terminals, a partnership of two coal companies, and proposes to export up to 44 million metric tons a year to Asia.40Don Jenkins. โWashington demands coal exporter cut carbon footprint in half,โ Capital Press, May 1, 2016.

One of the DOE‘s primary concerns was the potential for increasing global carbon output.

The Policy Brief concludes:
โCap-and-trade continues to be the preferred climate policy of the environmental left. The arguments they make to support it, however, are often incorrect or contradicted by experience.

Myers was a speaker at the Heartland Institute’s First International Conference on Climate Change.
The Heartland Institute has received significant funding from ExxonMobil, Phillip Morris and numerous other corporations and right-wing foundations with vested interest in the global warming debate.
The 2008 International Conference on Climate Change introduced the Manhattan Declaration on Climate Change, which was created by the International Climate Science Coalition (ICSC) in 2008.
The declaration states that โglobal warming is not a global crisisโ and that โthere is no convincing evidence that CO2 emissions from modern industrial activity has in the past, is now, or will in the future cause catastrophic climate change.โ
The conference was co-sponsored by numerous prominent climate change denier groups, think tanks and lobby groups, almost all of which have received money from the oil industry, including the Competitive Enterprise Institute, The Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, the Frontiers of Freedom Institute, the George C. Marshal Institute and many others.
