The Takeover
Canada's National Observer teamed up with DeSmog, an online investigative outlet that describes itself as an antidote to science denial and misinformation, on The Takeover project. We went to the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference in London, U.K., a right-wing networking event organized by former University of Toronto professor Jordan Peterson. We observed how speakers spread anti-net-zero strategies across a growing conservative network that includes the U.S., the U.K. Europe, Australia and Canada. ARC's goal is to reveal "the environmental climate scam" and end the "appalling policy" of net-zero worldwide. U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright told the conference in a video appearance that "net zero is a sinister goal". The move against net-zero and climate commitments is being accelerated by the Trump administration with help from rich power brokers, many of whom work in the fossil fuel industry. And ARC was a place to develop political party platforms, deepen transatlantic alliances and shift to the right, the boundaries of acceptable public debate on net zero. Hosted on Acast.
