“Evil is not a word I use often – or lightly – but I believe the kind of pragmatism practised on this street falls within that category. No-one’s in climate denial on Tufton Street in London. Quite the opposite. They know the science is real. They know whose money they’re taking. They’re not lying to themselves. They’re lying to us.”

Zadie Smith,
Author,
U.K.

‘They know the science is real’ – Zadie Smith and Tufton Street’s climate denial

Zadie Smith’s powerful speech outside 55 Tufton Street spoke of the danger of pragmatism and compromise when it comes to climate mitigation.

North West Bylines

To people outside the U.K. wondering what significance a tiny street in London can possibly have, 55 Tufton Street is where a network of dark money think tanks, fossil fuel funded climate denialists, and other loosely associated human rights trampling, planet wrecking nihilists have their offices.
It's not the epicentre of all evil, but trust me, it's a major hub.

In London, a hotbed of ultra-conservative lobbyists just a stone's throw from Westminster

The headquarters of Britain's most influential libertarian think tank has been targeted by environmental activists. This highlights their hidden role within the Tory party.

Le Monde

When you try to explain the climate denialist links and networks going on in 55 Tufton Street, London, U.K., you look like that crazy obsessive person in a film thriller trying to solve a crime in their basement with dozens and dozens of photographs connected with string.

Also, you run out of string.

If you want to see a live example of the Tufton Street climate denialists at work, take a look at the Uxbridge by election in the U.K.

They turned a national government election into a local clean air campaign referendum. They threw everything into making the result look like a public rejection of green policy.

They did such a great job on everybody that even Labour are starting to believe it.
