These are the Climate Science Denier MPs Lobbying for a Hard Brexit

Almost 70 MPs have been identified as backing a shadowy parliamentary lobby group pushing for a hard Brexit. In keeping with ideological links previously identified by DeSmog UK, it’s perhaps no shock that there are a number of politicians known to spread disinformation on climate change on the list.

Described as “an aggressive, disciplined, and highly organised parliamentary and media operation”, the European Research Group (ERG) is lobbying for a hard Brexit. It hit headlines earlier this week after being accused of misusing public money.

Long operating in the shadows, Buzzfeed has published a long list of MPs it has identified as being members of the group.

It is worth pointing out that not all the names on the list are climate science deniers. In fact, some have been very supportive of action on climate change. But there is some crossover.

Here are the MPs also know for pushing disinformation on climate change that made the list.
