Denounce misinformation from foreign political leaders

Background

Some foreign political leaders have claimed that climate change is “fake” and have spread false links between common medicines such as paracetamol and autism. Such statements risk undermining public health and public trust in science.

Additional details

We ask the UK Government to publicly reject this kind of misinformation and to reaffirm its commitment to evidence-based policy on climate change and autism. By taking a clear stance, the Government can show international leadership and protect public understanding from harmful false claims.
