The Global Warming Policy Foundation is delighted to announce that Andrew Montford has been appointed as Deputy Director.
Andrew Montford is a writer specialising in climate change issues and is best known as the author of The Hockey Stick Illusion and author of the blog Bishop Hill. He is the author of several GWPF reports, including its first one, on the Climategate Inquiries. He appears frequently in the media as a prominent sceptical voice and critic of current policies.
Andrew will play a key role in the GWPF, working closely with the Chairman and Director.
In recent years, the GWPF’s influence has grown rapidly among UK and international policy makers and the news media and it is widely regarded as the world’s leading think tank on global warming policy issues.

I for one, extend my sincerest congratulations, as I’m sure many WUWT readers do as well -Anthony

Congratulations to Andrew Montford and to GWPF. Andrew’s contribution so far has raised the level of the debate as much as it has also raised my understanding of the statistical issues involved in the Hockey Stick controversy (which is a lot!). We can expect great things to come from Benny, Andrew and the whole team at GWPF.
Interesting.
Well done Andrew.
Hope to see some stepped up action
I too enjoyed the debate at Bishop Hill, and am pleased that Andrew Montford is going to join the already impressive team at GWPF. I have used a number of Andrew’s publications to sow the seeds of doubt in the minds of intelligent friends who (because they have lives to live, jobs to do, children to look after, other controversies to join) have absorbed what the MSM gives them on global warming/climate change.
In reply to Geoff Chambers, there was (I use a past tense simply because there has not been much action on Bishop Hill for a year or two) something a bit ‘British’ about the discussion; perhaps it was diffidence about discussing politics (and religion too – both subjects traditionally banned at the dinner table, for fear of swordfights). Maybe there will be a PhD in the subject, when the world looks back in wonder at this extraordinary episode in the history of ideas, and the history of science.
Even the trolls were quaintly non-American. Remember the Dork of Cork?
‘Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds’, we’ll never be free of them if history is a guide (even more so if it is erased).
Good on ya’ Bish!
