Director, Center for Global Food Issues, Hudson Institute
Advisor, American Council on Science and HealthAdvisor, CFACT (Committee for A Constructive Tomorrow)
Avery, a supporter of biotechnology, pesticides, irradiation, factory farming and free trade, considers himself an expert on a range of subjects including "agriculture, environment, world hunger issues, biotechnology and pesticides, trade, and water issues." Avery also comments frequently on global warming science and policy.
Avery is the author of "Saving the Planet with Pesticides and Plastic" (Hudson Institute, 1995). Avery is the editor of Global Food Quarterly, the newsletter of the Center for Global Food Issues, and writes a nationally syndicated weekly column for the financial newswire Bridge News. Avery's article, "What's Wrong with Global Warming?" was published in the August 1999 issue of Reader's Digest. Avery is responsible for the erroneous and often reported "fact" that organically grown food is many times more likely to cause E. coli poisoning than conventionally grown food. For more information, view a compilation of articles at "gmwatch.org" [1] .
Co-author with Fred Singer of "Unstoppable Global Warming-Every 1500 Years."
"Avery studied agricultural economics at Michigan State University and the University of Wisconsin."

[edit] Key Quotes
((Add the skeptic's most revealing anti-climate change quotes to this section))
[edit] May 7th, 2007
The earth has warmed only a net 0.2 degrees C of net warming since 1940. Human-emitted CO2 gets the blame for only half of that—or 0.1 degree C of warming over 65 years! We've had no warming at all since 1998.

[edit] Quotes
[edit] November 1st, 2007
"Why did most of our moderate modern warming take place before 1940 (with 1934 being the warmest year) and why haven't we had any warming over the last nine years? Could it possibly be the moderate natural 1,500-year cycle revealed in the ice cores and seabed sediments?"
