Ex-Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has joined the UK’s main climate denial group saying: "We need more science," and in the next breath, "No, not like that."

The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) has consistently injected anti-science, climate change denial, shonky politics, and outright lies into climate change discussions.
