Abstract

Reform UK and its leaders Nigel Farage and Richard Tice have been promoting misinformation about climate change. In this they follow the playbook of their European counterparts. But even though the party is out of step with the general public’s views on climate change, the denial of scientific truths undermines public trust, and ultimately democracy, argue Pallavi Sethi and Bob Ward.
