Powerful voices are rewriting climate reality—and getting away with it.



At a conference in London, politicians, influencers and billionaires call Net Zero "a sinister goal," renewables "impossible," and climate action a "scam".



They weren’t whispering in backrooms, they were building alliances across the West and beyond to kill global climate commitments and reshape public opinion.



The Takeover pulls back the curtain on a rising movement that's weaponizing language, spreading misinformation, and shifting the boundaries of mainstream debate. Hear what they’re saying—and why it matters more than ever.

    We take our exploration of right-wing politics to Ottawa, where the Canada Strong and Free Network conference brings together key players in the Conservative movement. Our goal: to compare this event with the ARC conference in London, U.K., and see how each reflects the state of right-wing thought today. With a federal election underway, I wasn’t sure how many major Conservative figures would show up—but as it turns out, the campaign wasn’t a distraction. It was a central theme, woven through speeches, panels, and hallway conversations alike.

    Donald Trump made it clear during the presidential campaign that his administration planned a Drill, Baby Drill approach to energy. He said he would reduce regulations and cancel policies to fight climate change put in place by the Biden administration.


    It was only a week after he was elected that President Trump announced he wanted fracking executive Chris Wright as his Energy Secretary. The long-time climate denier who dismisses renewable energy as expensive and unreliable seemed to be everyone’s favourite, especially the fossil fuel industry. And it was smooth sailing for Wright through his confirmation hearing.

    Episode four of The Takeover looks at the man who could make or break the world’s climate change goals.

    Get Rid of it All
    Apr 15 2025
    On Day two of the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference in London, U.K. in February of 2025, a speaker broke the rules and criticized President Trump and Ellon Musk. The conference hosted by Canadian Jordan Peterson and a British Baroness was a gathering of right-wing power brokers brainstorming about how to take control of western democracies and get rid of what they called 'woke' and 'Marxist' governments. All the speakers seemed to be on the same page but someone had invited a speaker from the enemy camp - the media. His speech was the first alternative point-of-view at the conference.
