The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) is a think tank which seeks to give reliable information about climate change. It is based in London, England, and was founded in 2009 by Lord Lawson and Dr Benny Peiser.[1]
The GWPF has stated its principles as follows:
- The GWPF does not have an official or shared view about the science of global warming – although we are of course aware that this issue is not yet settled.
- On climate science, our members and supporters cover a broad range of different views, from the IPCC position through agnosticism to outright scepticism.
- Our main focus is to analyse global warming policies and their economic and other implications. Our aim is to provide the most robust and reliable economic analysis and advice.
- We regard observational evidence and understanding the present as more important and more reliable than computer modelling or predicting the distant future.
