Climate groups wage war on ARC

Dear oh dear. The Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) conference almost got through its entire meet-up without much interference from lefty activists. But as it threatened to come to a peaceful close this afternoon, the eco-zealots stepped in.

Environmental justice group Fossil Free London has taken to Twitter to rally fellow climate comrades in a bid to ‘shut down the far right’s party’. Posting a series of garish clips on social media, Fossil Free London has warned its supporters that the ‘world’s worst climate deniers and far right goons’ are planning – wait for it – a ‘luxury party’ in celebration of this year’s conference. How scandalous!

The lefty group has dubbed Jordan Peterson’s ARC meet as ‘the Glastonbury of climate deniers’, insisting:

It brings together the pro-Trump and pro-oil rich, backed by the owners of GB News. Speakers include: climate deniers, think tanks criticised by LGBTQ+ groups, Nigel Farage and Tory leader Kemi Badenoch.
