For the Science and Public Policy Institute founded in 1994, see George Carlo.The Science and Public Policy Institute (SPPI) is a United States based organization that presents scientific data and analysis that accepts the possibility of human-induced climate change, but is doubtful whether its magnitude will be significant.
The Science and Public Policy Institute is not connected to the former Center for Science and Public Policy of the Frontiers of Freedom. The institute describes itself as:
a nonprofit institute of research and education dedicated to sound public policy based on sound science. Free from affiliation to any corporation or political party, we support the advancement of sensible public policies for energy and the environment rooted in rational science and economics. Only through science and factual information, separating reality from rhetoric, can legislators develop beneficial policies without unintended consequences that might threaten the life, liberty, and prosperity of the citizenry.
The organization's Executive Director is Robert "Bob" Ferguson, a former Chief of Staff to Republican Congressmen Jack Fields (1981-1997), John E. Peterson (1997-2002), and Rick Renzi (2002). The chief science adviser to the institute is Willie Soon, PhD an astrophysicist and geoscientist, a skeptic of man made global warming and proponent of the theory that climate change is caused by solar variation. The chief policy adviser is Christopher Monckton, a former special adviser to Margaret Thatcher. Further science advisers include William Kininmonth, Robert M. Carter, David Legates, Craig D. Idso, and James J. O'Brien. Joe D'Aleo is the institute's Meteorology Adviser.
The institute has funded a film "Apocalypse No" intended to show the errors of the Al Gore film An Inconvenient Truth. It shows Mr. Monckton, chief policy adviser of the institute presenting a slide show to the Cambridge University Union examining climate change science. .
