Steven J. Milloy is a lawyer, lobbyist, author and former Fox News commentator. Milloy is the founder and editor of the blog junkscience.com.
Milloy's career has been spent denying the results of science that government agencies rely on for protecting the public.[1] His close financial and organizational ties to tobacco and oil companies have been the subject of criticism, as Milloy has consistently disputed the scientific consensus on climate change and the health risks of second-hand smoke.[2][3]
From the 1990s until the end of 2005, Milloy was an adjunct scholar at the libertarian Cato Institute, which hosted the JunkScience.com site. He was an adjunct scholar at the Competitive Enterprise Institute from 2005 to 2009.[4]
He operated The Advancement of Sound Science Center (TASSC)[5] established by Philip Morris Companies Inc. to counter legislation against second-hand smoke.
Since 2020 Milloy has served on the board of the Heartland Institute.[6] As of 2023[update] Milloy is a Senior Policy Fellow with the Energy & Environment Legal Institute.[7]
