Peter Sinclair is a YouTube blogger from Midland, Michigan who was formerly a cartoonist, the author of Alex's Restaurant, which was picked up by King Features Syndicate in 1990, after which it appeared in about 50 newspapers. In a poll conducted by the Detroit Free Press, this cartoon ranked as the most disliked eight weeks after it debuted. Alex's Restaurant has, however, received praise from Jim Borgman, who wrote, "There are so many strips around with no heart?..Alex?s feels real and has a ring to it ? the drawing is terrific!" The son of Mary P. Sinclair, he is perhaps best known for producing the "Climate Denial Crock of the Week" series on his YouTube channel, Greenman3610. Sinclair registered this account in 2006 and uploaded his first video in 2009. These videos have received praise from climate scientists such as Gavin Schmidt, Michael Mann, and the late Stephen Schneider. In 2012, he launched another YouTube series, entitled "This is not Cool", for the Yale Forum on Climate Change and the Media. He lives in Midland with his wife, Sandy, a teacher, and has stated that his concern about global warming results from concerns about his children.
