An explosive new piece of investigative journalism, "Monckton, Rinehart and a plan to capture the Australian media" by Aussie journalist Graham Readfearn, is turning the climate change world upside down.

Readfearn learned about a remarkable video (via Twitter!) of a meeting hosted by the Mannkal Economic Education Foundation, a group...
