The #BBC’s this week hosted a climate sceptic with links to the gas sector without declaring the guest’s professional ties.
Kathryn Porter was introduced as an “energy consultant at Watt-Logic” by business presenter Sean Farrington on BBC Radio 4’s Today.
Porter’s blog repeatedly cites the work of the Global Warming Policy Foundation (#GWPF), the UK’s main climate science denial group. She also spoke at a webinar run by GWPF’s campaign arm Net Zero Watch last June.

Overlooked in Rishi Sunak's approval of Johnson's honours list is a peerage for Andrea Jenkyns.

Jenkyns has just joined the board of Net Zero Watch, a pressure group that denies climate science and lobbies for oil and gas interests. Its parent organisation is the Global Warming Policy Foundation, the UK’s principal climate science denial group and part of the Tufton Street network of free market think tanks.

"Ex Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has joined the UK’s main climate denial group saying: “we need more science”.

"The GWPF, which was founded by former Chancellor Nigel Lawson, is known for consistently spreading climate disinformation and undermining net zero policies designed to tackle carbon emissions"

Ex-Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has joined the UK’s main climate denial group saying: "We need more science," and in the next breath, "No, not like that."

The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) has consistently injected anti-science, climate change denial, shonky politics, and outright lies into climate change discussions.

"A registered UK charity, the GWPF is one of the most vocal groups in British politics opposing the government’s ‘net zero’ plans and has been at the forefront of recent calls to restart fracking. …

Between 2016 and 2020 the American Friends of the GWPF received $620,259 from the Donors Trust. Described as a “dark money ATM” for the US political Right"

"The #GWPF is in breach of its duties as a registered #charity, including mismanagement of funds – spending several hundred thousand pounds on one-sided research – and having a financial relationship with its subsidiary, #NetZeroWatch, breaching key protections of charity law."🤔

The #CharityCommission is reviewing a complaint about the Global Warming Policy Foundation’s charitable status

Cross party MPs & #GoodLawProject have argued that GWPF’s political arm - Net Zero Watch - has been using charitable funds to push climate delaying messages
