David Russell Legates is a former professor of geography at the University of Delaware.[1] He is the former Director of the Center for Climatic Research at the same university and a former Delaware state climatologist.[2][3][4] In September 2020, the Trump administration appointed him as deputy assistant secretary of commerce for observation and prediction at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.[5][6]
Legates has spent much of his career casting doubt on the severity of climate change and the human causes of warming.[5][7] He is affiliated with the Heartland Institute, a think tank that promotes climate change denial.[5]
Legates' viewpoint, as stated in a 2015 study that he co-authored, is that the Earth will experience about 1.0 °C (1.8 °F) warming over the 2000 to 2100 period.[8]
