The mission of the nonprofit advocacy group Science and Public Policy Institute is to promote "sound public policy based on sound science." [2]With a strong emphasis on global warming denial, SPPI was established in the middle of 2007.
The Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) was the program responsible for coordinating and integrating research on global warming by U.S. government agencies from February 2002 to June 2009. [1] Toward the end of that period, CCSP issued 21 separate climate assessment reports that addressed climate observations , changes in the atmosphere ...
This has led to increases in mean global temperature, or global warming. The likely range of human-induced surface-level air warming by 2010–2019 compared to levels in 1850–1900 is 0.8 °C to 1.3 °C, with a best estimate of 1.07 °C. This is close to the observed overall warming during that time of 0.9 °C to 1.2 °C.
The Advancement of Sound Science Center (TASSC), formerly The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition, was an industry-funded lobby group and crisis management vehicle, [1] [2] and was created in 1993 by Phillip Morris and APCO in response to a 1992 United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) report [3] which identified secondhand smoke as a "confirmed" [4] human carcinogen.

Acoustics is defined by ANSI/ASA S1.1-2013 as "(a) Science of sound, including its production, transmission, and effects, including biological and psychological effects. (b) Those qualities of a room that, together, determine its character with respect to auditory effects."
From ancient times, people suspected that the climate of a region could change over the course of centuries. For example, Theophrastus, a pupil of Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle in the 4th century BC, told how the draining of marshes had made a particular locality more susceptible to freezing, and speculated that lands became warmer when the clearing of forests exposed them to sunlight.
In response to the global demand for increased governmental action to tackle the adverse effects of climate change and the advancement of climate science on both international and local levels, the Government of Ghana (GoG) [21] has undertaken several measures to integrate climate change into the nation’s development plans. As a participant ...
The global average and combined land and ocean surface temperature show a warming of 1.09 °C (range: 0.95 to 1.20 °C) from 1850–1900 to 2011–2020, based on multiple independently produced datasets. [8]: 5 The trend is faster since the 1970s than in any other 50-year period over at least the last 2000 years.
