Climate Liars Face Crackdown As UN Expert Calls for Penalties

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports from New York City on a controversial new proposal by a UN expert advocating for criminal penalties against those who spread climate disinformation. The call also includes banning fossil fuel lobbying and advertising.
