| Notes |
The university has a history of associating with climate science deniers, notably those linked to the UK’s Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) launched by Lord Nigel Lawson.
GWPF director Benny Peiser occasionally lectures at the university. The university has also awarded honorary degrees to Lawson as well as Conservative member of the House of Lords Matt Ridley who is also a Times columnist, coal mine owner and member of the GWPF. Former university vice-chancellor Terence Kealey also sits on the GWPF’s academic advisory council.
Lord Vinson, tied to both the IEA and the University of Buckingham, was named as one the GWPF’s core funders in 2014. |
