Charity Commission reviews complaint against climate sceptic thinktank

Move comes after lawyers and MPs raised concerns about charitable status of Global Warming Policy Foundation

GWPF exists to question policy around the climate crisis, and was set up by former Conservative chancellor Nigel Lawson, who has said that climate change is not a threat, but happening very gently at a fraction of a degree per decade, which is something we can perfectly well live with".
