‘It’s a Very Male-Dominated Space’: Welcome to the Sexist World of Brexit and Climate Science Denial

Do Brexiters and climate science deniers have a problem with women?

DeSmog UK has previously drawn links between climate science denial outfits based out of offices at 55 Tufton St, just around the corner from parliament. And research has shown that the impacts of climate change and Brexit will both affect the UK’s women disproportionately.
