About the Series
It’s no secret that the second Donald Trump presidency is one of the loudest and most aggressive anti-climate administrations in history. But in this series we go behind the scenes to reveal how climate crisis deniers and other key figures involved with the MAGA movement are taking advantage of this political moment in quieter and more insidious ways. And we show how an emboldened far-right on both sides of the Atlantic is pushing a global fossil fuel agenda.
