Global Warming Policy Foundation is to divest from its campaigning subsidiary and change its outputs after a Charity Commission investigation. But why won’t the commission apply sanctions?

After a complaint supported by Good Law Project, the climate denial think-tank the #GlobalWarming Policy Foundation (#GWPF) will cut loose its campaigning arm. The group has also changed its procedures around publication in response to the Charity Commission’s investigation.
