Prominent writers and actors gathered outside the offices at 55 Tufton Street on Wednesday evening to highlight the role they say organisations based in and around the Westminster address play in spreading misinformation about climate change and lobbying against government action.

They were joined by several hundred protestors opposing “climate science denial and the influence of right-wing climate sceptic thinktanks in UK politics,” according to a statement released by Writers Rebel, an offshoot of the environmental activist movement Extinction Rebellion (XR).
