Christopher Landsea is a research meteorologist with Hurricane Research Division of Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory atNOAA. He is a member of the American Geophysical Union and the American Meteorological Society. He earned his doctoral degree in Atmospherical Science at Colorado State University.
Dr. Landsea has published a number of research papers on cyclones and hurricanes. He is the author of Hurricanes, Typhoons, and Tropical Cyclones: FAQ. [1]
In January, 2005, Landsea withdrew from his participation in the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report. Landsea claimed the IPCC had become politicized and the leadership ignored his concerns. [2] Landsea does not believe that global warming has an influence on hurricanes. After Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, a Republican media operative working in U.S. Department of Commerce began choosing Landsea over other scientists in NOAA to speak to the press about the link between hurricanes and climate change[3].
