About This Podcast
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.
