''The Telegraph'' has published multiple columns and news articles which promote [[Climate change denial|pseudoscientific views on climate change]], and misleadingly cast the subject of climate change as a subject of active scientific debate when there is a [[scientific consensus on climate change]].{{refn|<ref>{{Cite

Delingpole]] was first to use "[[Climatic Research Unit email controversy|Climategate]]" on his ''Telegraph'' blog for a manufactured controversy where emails were leaked from climate scientists ahead of the Copenhagen climate summit and misleadingly presented to give the appearance that the climate scientists were engaged in fraud.<ref>{{Cite

In 2014, ''The Telegraph'' was one of several media titles to give evidence to the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] [[Select committee (United Kingdom)|Select Committee]] 'Communicating climate science'. The paper told [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|MPs]] they believe climate change is happening and humans play a role in it. Editors told the committee, "we believe that the climate is changing, that the reason for that change includes human activity, but that human ingenuity and adaptability should not be ignored in favour of economically damaging prescriptions."<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/apr/01/telegraph-and-mail-concede-on-climate-change|title=Telegraph and Mail concede on climate change|last=Vaughan|first=Adam|date=1 April 2014|work=The Guardian|access-date=12 November 2019|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191117165326/https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/apr/01/telegraph-and-mail-concede-on-climate-change|archive-date=17 November 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>
