John Tierney is a contributing editor to City Journal, the Manhattan Institute’s quarterly publication. He has also published articles in The Atlantic, Esquire, New York, Reader’s Digest, Vogue, the Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Tribune, and the Washington Post. He also worked as a reporter for over twenty years at the New York Times. Despite this, he is regarded as “the country’s worst science writer.”
On the Manhattan Institute’s website, he has published articles and videos including “The Left’s ‘War on Science’,” “The Tyranny of the Administrative State,” and “Scott Pruitt Isn’t Anti-Science.”
In a review of Michael Shellenberger’s “Apocalypse Never,” he called Western environmentalism a “false god” for “lost souls,” and he agreed with the idea that the “green’s favorite solutions are making the problem [of climate change” worse.” In an article published in 2020, he wrote that “single-use plastic bags aren’t the worst environmental choice at the supermarket– they’re the best. High-density polyethylene bags are a marvel of economic, engineering and environmental efficiency.”
