The Global Warming Policy Foundation is a science-based educational and cross-party charity that aims to inspire debate about climate change. It was launched by Lord Lawson and Dr Benny Peiser on 23 November 2009 in the House of Lords – in the run-up to the Copenhagen Climate Summit. The Foundation is headed up by its Academic Advisory Council, a group of some of the world's leading scientists and economists. The Global Warming Policy Foundation is unique. It is an all-party and non-party think tank and a registered educational charity which, while open-minded on the contested science of global warming, is deeply concerned about the costs and other implications of many of the policies currently being advocated. The Global Warming Policy Foundation is in no sense ‘anti-environmental’. There is a wide range of important environmental issues, which call for an equally wide range of policy responses. Its concern is solely with the possible effects of any future global warming and the policy responses that may evoke. Above all, the Foundation seeks to inform the media, politicians and the public, in a newsworthy way, on the subject in general and on the misinformation to which they are all too frequently being subjected at the present time.
