Founding
The organization was formed in March 2020 by Stuart Scott, with an advisory board of members including Dr. Peter Carter, Expert Reviewer for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Dr. Peter Wadhams, Emeritus Professor of Ocean Physics, and Dr. Sylvia A. Earle, a marine biologist and oceanographer.
Based on the paper "Climate change now detectable from any single day of weather at global scale"[1], which demonstrates analysis identifying a statistically quantifiable signal of climate change in any day's weather data, providing scientific confirmation of climate change. This analysis confirms previous scientific work showing a statistically identifiable signal.
