Even though the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the United States was established in 1970, the idea of greenhouse gases affecting Earth’s energy balance was first suggested by Joseph Fourier in the early 19th century.
Modeling of climate change attempts to use Earth’s energy balance in order to attribute climate change to the effects of elevated greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Climate science is a complex frontier of research due to the underlying natural variability, which appears evident in orbital forcing of the Earth and the Moon.
I think that new leaders of government agencies such as the EPA assess the status of climate change research in order to revise or formulate government policies for environmental protection.
The EPA may have research grants for this goal.
Researchers who are active in this complex science may find the peer-reviewed paper at the following link helpful:
