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.
