#071 - Rupert Read - Politics Broke the Climate Change Debate

Rupert Read is a philosopher, author, and former Extinction
Rebellion spokesperson who now leads the Climate Majority
Project—an effort to unite people across the political spectrum
around pragmatic climate action.


With a focus on adaptation, resilience, and risk management,
Rupert argues that climate change is not a “woke” issue but a
clear and present danger that demands sober, cross-partisan
solutions. In this interview, Rupert challenges mainstream
narratives, question the failures of Net Zero messaging, and
explore why conservatives should take the lead on climate
preparedness. From threats to national security and food supply
to the economic costs of inaction, Rupert lays out a case for
tackling climate change that doesn’t rely on ideology—but on
common sense.
