Indiegogo criticised for helping climate deniers crowdfund money

Site rejects calls to take down Heartland Institute campaign raising funds to host a rival conference alongside the Paris climate summit in December

Crowdfunding site Indiegogo has been criticised for carrying a campaign raising money for the Heartland Institute, a thinktank that casts doubt on climate science, to run a rival conference alongside a landmark UN summit in Paris in December.

The Pandemonium in Paris campaign will direct funding to a "counter-conference" attended by allied libertarian organisations, including the Cato Institute, the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow and the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
