Affiliations
Nigel Lawson set up The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) in 2009. The GWPF claims that their main purpose is ―to bring reason, integrity and balance to a debate that has become seriously unbalanced, irrationally alarmist, and all too often depressingly intolerant.[2] Yet it relentlessly claims that climate change will not have too serious effects. The group‘s claim to be sceptical about climate policy and not about climate change itself appears a strategic choice, given that the GPWF oozes climate change denialism.[3]
