Benny Peiser: “The political consensus around climate is broken”
Benny Peiser, director of the Global Warming Policy Foundation for the last 15 years, gave a talk for the Clintel Foundation in The Netherlands in late November.

Friends of the Earth Netherlands, his former employer, has been aware of this part of his past for at least five years.
