Ted Nordhaus (born 1965) is an American author and the director of research at The Breakthrough Institute.He has co-edited and written a number of books, including Break Through: From the Death of Environmentalism to the Politics of Possibility (2007) and An Ecomodernist Manifesto (2015) with collaborator Michael Shellenberger.
The first half of Break Through is a criticism of the green "politics of limits". The book begins with the birth of environmentalism.

In June 2020, Shellenberger published Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All, in which the author argues that climate change is not the existential threat it is portrayed to be in popular media and activism.
