The Takeover
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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The signing of the Paris Agreement in 2015 was a breakthrough in the fight against the climate crisis. Almost every country in the world signed on to the treaty and agreed to keep or reduce emissions to under 2 degrees Celsius, or better yet, 1.5 degrees Celsius.
When environmental activist Tzeporah Berman read the agreement – a bit nerdy but someone had to do it – she found no mention of oil, gas and coal. Odd, becaus...
