According to Bloomberg News, the group was "founded to promote civil defense during the Cold War", and has been "transformed over the years into a forum" on "fringe-science topics" such as global warming denial.[3] DDP was described by The Guardian as a "fringe political group" and as a "truly bizarre lobby group".[2] It promotes the denialist view that man-made global warming is not real or not an important concern.[2]
