Gifts bestowed on party and MPs by climate deniers and entities linked to fossil fuel and high pollution industry
The Conservative party received £3.5m from individuals and entities linked to climate denial, fossil fuels and high pollution industries last year, according to new analysis.
The climate website DeSmog analysed Electoral Commission records, which show that the party and its MPs received funds from the aviation and construction industries, mining and oil interests, and individuals linked to the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF), a thinktank which has denied the legitimacy of climate science.
