Geopolitics & Empire · Rupert Darwall: Radical Environmentalism and the Climate Deep State #073

Author Rupert Darwall discusses the totalitarian roots of radical environmentalism and the "Climate-Industrial-Complex" or "Climate Deep State" composed of NGOs, government agencies, oligarchs, academia and green technology companies. He explains how the climate change movement began as a political agenda with roots in Nazi Germany and 1970s Swedish technocracy and that renewable energy cannot feasibly replace carbon energy sources.

In the public policy sphere, Mr Darwall co-founded one of London’s leading think tanks and was a consultant to the Conservative party during the 2005 general election.  His published writings on reforming Britain’s civil service and tax credits have been widely cited and he has written three major articles for the Hoover Institution’s Policy Review.  He has also written for the Financial Times and the Wall Street Journal on British politics.  His books Global Warming: A Short History and Green Tyranny: Exposing the Totalitarian Roots of the Climate-Industrial-Complex are available in bookstores everywhere.
