Michael Shellenberger is the best-selling author of San Fransicko: Why
Progressives Ruin Cities (HarperCollins 2021) and Apocalypse Never: Why
Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All (HarperCollins 2020). Apocalypse Never has
been translated into over 15 languages including French, Spanish, Portuguese,
Italian, Korean, Hebrew, Lithuanian, Czech, Slovak, and Polish. 

He is founder and president of Environmental Progress, an independent nonprofit
research organization that incubates ideas, leaders, and movements. Michael is
a Time Magazine "Hero of the Environment," and Green Book Award winner. And he
is cofounder of the California Peace Coalition, an alliance of parents of
children killed by fentanyl, parents of homeless addicts, and recovering
addicts.

Shellenberger is a leading investigative journalist who has broken major stories
on crime and drug policy; homelessness; Amazon deforestation; rising climate
resilience; growing eco-anxiety; the U.S. government’s role in the fracking
revolution; and climate change and California’s fires. And he testifies and
advises governments around the world including in the United States, United
Kingdom, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia, the
Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.

Michael has been called a “environmental guru,” “climate guru,” “North America’s
leading public intellectual on clean energy,” and “high priest” of the
environmental humanist movement for his writings and TED talks, which have been
viewed over five million times. 

Shellenberger has been a climate and environmental activist for over 30 years.
He has helped save nuclear reactors around the world, from Illinois and New
York to South Korea and Taiwan, thereby preventing an increase in air pollution
equivalent to adding over 24 million cars to the road. 

In the 1990s, Shellenberger helped save California’s last unprotected ancient
redwood forest,  inspire Nike to improve factory conditions, and advocate for
decriminalization and harm reduction policies. In the 2000s, Michael advocated
for a“new Apollo project” in clean energy, which resulted in a $150 billion
public investment in clean tech between 2009 and 2015.
