Craig Rucker, co-founder and president of the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), joins Bay Area Innovators to discuss climate change, environmental policy, and the global politics surrounding energy and regulation.

In this conversation, Rucker traces the origins of CFACT back to the 1980s, explaining why he believed environmental issues needed voices outside the traditional activist movement. He challenges the evolution of climate narratives over the decades, raises questions about climate modeling and predictions, and outlines his critiques of international agreements and United Nations-led climate initiatives.

The interview also explores national security concerns tied to offshore wind farms, the geopolitical role of China in global climate policy, and how energy decisions impact economic competitiveness. Rucker shares behind-the-scenes stories from decades attending UN climate conferences, including protest actions, political pressure, and efforts to silence dissenting viewpoints.

“We believe environmental policy should be grounded in facts, not fear,” Rucker says. #Bayareainnovators
