  • The George C. Marshall Institute (GMI) was established in 1984 in Washington, D.C. "to conduct technical assessments of scientific issues with an impact on public policy". It is known for its skepticism toward the mainstream scientific opinion on climate change, and its strong support for the Strategic Defense Initiative. It is one of only a few conservative think tanks engaged in environmental policy debates to have natural scientists on staff. The institute is named after World War II military leader and statesman George C. Marshall. Historian Naomi Oreskes says the institute has, in order to resist and delay regulation, lobbied politically to create a false public perception of scientific uncertainty over the negative health effects of second-hand smoke, the carcinogenic nature of tobacco smoking, and on the evidence between CFCs and ozone depletion.
