Myron Eells

Myron Eells was an influential American figure known for his controversial stance on climate change. As the Director of Global Warming and International Environmental Policy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, he played a pivotal role in promoting climate change skepticism. Eells led the Cooler Heads Coalition, a group dedicated to challenging the prevailing narratives surrounding global warming by critiquing economic and scientific analyses. His efforts were characterized by a commitment to what he termed 'sensible energy policies' that he believed would benefit society without succumbing to alarmism. In 2016, Eells gained further prominence when he was appointed by Donald Trump to lead the transition team for the Environmental Protection Agency, highlighting his significant influence within conservative political circles. Although not a scientist, Eells's advocacy and public presence positioned him as a key figure in the climate change debate, often representing the views of those skeptical of mainstream climate science. His legacy is marked by his contentious contributions to environmental policy discussions and the ongoing discourse surrounding climate change denial.
