Ross McKitrick is a Canadian economist specializing in environmental economics and policy analysis. He is a professor of economics at the University of Guelph, and a senior fellow of the Fraser Institute. He is a member of the academic advisory boards of the John Deutsch Institute, the Global Warming Policy Foundation, and the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation.
He has authored works about climate change issues, including co-authoring the book Taken By Storm: The Troubled Science, Policy and Politics of Global Warming in 2003. McKitrick produced a series of videos and articles for the Friends of Science in which he argued that there is a "pause" in global warming that reveals flaws in current climate change models. The Friends of Science argue that the sun—not human emissions of GHG—is the main driver of climate change.
McKitrick gained his doctorate in economics in 1996 from the University of British Columbia, and in the same year was appointed Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Guelph, Ontario. In 2001 he received an Associate Professorship and has been a full Professor since December 2008. He has also been a Senior Fellow of the Fraser Institute since 2002. He is a member of the academic advisory boards of the John Deutsch Institute, the Global Warming Policy Foundation, and the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation. He currently lives in Guelph, Ontario with his wife and two children. He is a member of the St. John's Anglican church in Ancaster, Ontario.
