Science and Public Policy Institute

Background

The mission of the nonprofit advocacy group Science and Public Policy Institute is to promote "sound public policy based on sound science."

With a strong emphasis on global warming denial, SPPI was established in the middle of 2007. It heavily references works by climate change science denier Christopher Monckton, who served as editor of the organization's "Monthly CO2 Report", has published many of his works with SPPI, and who is also listed as the organization's "Chief Policy Advisor."

The SPPI has analyzed the states for observed climate change and the impact or expense of climate change regulations or prevention measures, in addition to releasing original articles on subjects including climate change and mercury in the environment. SPPI has been called a "front" for the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change (CSCDGC), with whom it frequently co-publishes papers.
