The conversation between Jordan Peterson and Nigel Farage at the 2025 Arc Conference.
SHARE:
Speaking to Canadian psychologist and speaker Dr Jordan Peterson at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference, Mr Farage said Reform’s platform intends to “reindustrialise Britain”.
The conference, held on February 17-19th in London’s ExCeL, features over 4,000 delegates from 96 countries.
He warned that focusing on Net Zero policies has been a “complete and utter disaster”, noting “one thing that drives me potty is when I hear that carbon dioxide is a pollutant… it’s absolutely nuts.”
“Of all the CO2 that’s produced every year in the world, only 3-5% of it is produced by mankind. So we do, as you rightly say, need to get this into a sense of perspective.”
Speaking about Reform UK, he said:
We take the view that if we’re going to be using gas, if we’re going to be using oil in this country until 2050… our view is, if we’re going to be using them, we may as well produce them ourselves in our own country.
Criticising the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs and the UK’s high industrial energy prices, Farage claimed that these policies “hurt the poor more than anybody”.
Farage’s comments come as thousands of delegates gather for the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship’s (ARC) second annual conference in London. ARC was co-founded in 2023 by Canadian psychologist and self-help author Dr Jordan Peterson and Tory peer Philippa Stroud. Financial backers include Paul Marshall, co-owner of GB News and The Spectator, and Legatum, the private investment firm.
The conference taking place in London has been labelled as “the Glastonbury for Climate Deniers” by activists.
Other speakers who have attended so far include the UK opposition leader, the Conservatives’ Kemi Badenoch, two former Prime Ministers of Australia and two members of the US House of Representatives, including Rep. Mike Johnson who spoke via video call. The conference pledges to build on “growing movement and continue the vital work of relaying the foundations of our civilisation”. Conservative MPs Danny Kruger and Miriam Cates are amongst the crowd, with former Prime Minister Liz Truss making a brief appearance on the second day.

London stations are exhibiting their seasonal Christmas tree, which has raised questions of whether these displays are festive celebrations or clever pieces of brand promotion.
