Upon the election of Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States, the UK’s Lord Christopher Monckton 3rd Viscount of Brenchley proposed a plan for fundamental reform of climate science and climate policy.
With climate disengagement becoming a clear Trump priority, Monckton’s guide is more pertinent than ever.
