Global climate change is considered by many to be the biggest environmental problem facing the world today. The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) is a think tank in the United Kingdom whose goals are to challenge "extremely damaging and harmful policies" developed by different countries to mitigate human-caused global warming. Which of these pieces of data would support the mission of the GWPF? A) warmer periods of the Earth’s history came around 800 years before rises in CO2 levels. Eliminate B) it is widely recognized that variations in solar radiation and activities, such as solar flares or sunspots, if large enough, could have an impact on the global temperature. C) it is a greater than a 90 percent certainty that emissions of heat-trapping gases from human activities have caused “most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century.” D) climate changes prior to the Industrial Revolution in the 1700s can be explained by natural causes, such as changes in solar energy, volcanic eruptions, and natural changes in greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations

Answer:

A dn B. Because the Global Warming Policy Foundation are a campaign group set up to spread misinformation on climate change.

Step-by-step explanation:

Th GWPF's missions is to cast doubt on the veracity of established climate science to try and stop or slow climate action. A and B are classic climate science denier tropes that suggest humans are not a major cause of warming, and therefore society should not take action to curb emissions. You can find out much more about the GWPF by searching 'GWPF DeSmog'.
