GWPF to Co-Host Webinar on Reforming Environmental Science

The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) in the UK has joined with the AEF to co-host the webinar on reforming the quality of environmental research, which is to be held on Zoom on 24 November 2020.

Both the AEF and the GWPF are open-minded about the contested science of global warming. Both also share a deep concern about the costs and other implications of many of the public policies that are currently being advocated to address global warming.

The GWPF was launched by Lord Lawson of Balby — a current Member of the UK House of Lords and former Chancellor of the Exchequer — and Dr Benny Peiser — the current Director of GWPF — in the run-up to the Copenhagen Climate Summit. It is based in London. A link to the GWPF website is here.

Harry Wilkinson, the Head of Policy at GWPF, and Jeffrey Rae, the Executive Director of AEF. will be the co-hosts of the webinar and will share the hosting duties on Zoom.
