  • George Soros’ Open Society Foundations (OSF) has spent decades advancing a socialist-leaning climate agenda through political influence, media manipulation and grassroots activism, aiming to reshape global policies and dismantle sovereign economies.
  • From 2016 to 2023, OSF funneled nearly $194 million to 345 environmental groups, including the Climate Action Network (CAN), which leverages U.N. platforms to politicize climate issues—e.g., labeling Israel’s military actions as "climate violence."
  • OSF funds campaigns to ban combustion engines, shut down fossil fuels and push a Global Green New Deal. Its U.S. proxy, the Open Society Policy Center, spent $140 million in 2021 on partisan groups like America Votes to sway elections and voter rights initiatives.
  • Soros-backed groups like the Sunrise Movement and Center for American Progress engage in eco-terrorism and protest disruptions, while OSF infiltrates universities to propagate its worldview, labeling dissenters as "bigots" to silence opposition.
  • OSF’s merger of climate policies with cultural Marxism and Democratic Party funding raises concerns about a "New World Order" imposed through climate mandates. Critics argue this undermines energy security, drives up costs and erodes democratic freedoms under the guise of environmentalism.
George Soros’ $32 billion Open Society Foundations (OSF) are spearheading a decades-long effort to redefine global climate activism through a rigid ideological lens, blending political influence, media shaping and grassroots agitators to push a socialist-leaning climate agenda. America’s climate debate has become a playground for Soros-backed activists who deploy lawsuits, protests and lobbying to advance an agenda activists admit aims to dismantle sovereign economies. The philanthropy patriarch, now 94, and his son Alex orchestrate this enterprise, channeling millions into groups that conflate free speech with “hate” and promote radical environmental policies.

Soros’ $618 million eco-empire: A blueprint for global climate control

Between 2016 and 2023, MRC Business uncovered that the OSF funneled $193.9 million to 345 environmental groups worldwide, including the Climate Action Network (CAN), which boasts 1,900 affiliated groups in 130 nations. CAN’s U.N. influence allowed it to condemn Israel in October 2024 for “climate violence” after its military actions in Gaza and Lebanon, linking self-defense operations to environmental harm—a bizarre leap of logic underscoring how geo-political conflicts are weaponized under Soros’ framework. The OSF’s ambitions stretch beyond rhetoric. Using its vast network, the foundation has helped engineer policies such as banning internal combustion engines, shuttering fossil fuel projects and pushing a Global Green New Deal, while its U.S. proxy, the Open Society Policy Center, spent $140 million in 2021 on groups like America Votes and Sixteen Thirty Fund to sway elections and voter rights initiatives. This overlap between climate advocacy and partisan politics reveals Soros’ dual strategy: radicalize movements while stacking electoral playing fields.

From climate extremism to political activism: The Soros network at work

Soros’ sway reaches frontline activists, from the chaotic Sunrise Movement to the far-left Center for American Progress, which MRC Business notes have embraced eco-terrorism and intimidation. At the 2021 Democratic National Convention protest, Sunrise members blocked traffic, with 13 arrested on the FDR Drive alone—actions condoned by their funders. DNC chair candidate Jason Paul fumed during a 2025 convention as Sunrise disrupters “hijack[ed] the evening” to demand radical climate pledges. The OSF’s financial faucet also waters polluting “dark money” groups: $23.9 million went to Sixteen Thirty Fund, which shields donors while aiding PACs backing Democrats. Meanwhile, Justice Department data shows Soros-related funds helped push the Inflation Reduction Act, which critics argue leans heavily on green subsidies and regulatory overreach.

The U.N. connection: How Soros funds shape international policy

Soros’ grip on international climate policy is stark. CAN’s influence at U.N. climate talks ensures that even humanitarian responses to crises like Ukraine’s war are stigmatized as “fossil fuel violence.” This mirrors George Soros’ 2020 declaration that the pandemic provided a “revolutionary moment” to test “social control experiments,” a phrase evoking dystopian governance. His son Alex’s boardroom maneuvers at OSF ensure the agenda advances: The OSF’s 2024 report includes $60 million pledged to “global justice” causes, often tied to climate equity. Historically, Soros’ tactics mirror Cold War-era “soft power” campaigns. His infiltration of universities, from the Open Society’s global university network to Oberlin College’s climate studies programs, ensures young radicals internalize his worldview. The SPLC, a Soros beneficiary, amplifies his message by labeling conservative voices “bigots” and “extremists,” stifling debate under the banner of combating hate speech.

A planet held hostage?

As the OSF’s $618 million climate war rages, the questions grow louder: Who benefits when a single billionaire monopolizes environmental policy-making, merging eco-activism with cultural Marxism and Democrat campaign funding? The enforcement of a “New World Order” through climate dictates poses a threat not just to oil fields, but to freedom itself—to regulate, litigate and radicalize humanity into submission. Whether dubbed utopian or tyrannical, Soros’ empire has already reshaped the climate conversation into a proxy war for global hegemony.

Why it matters now

Amid rising living costs and energy insecurity, Soros’ unchecked funding exposes the hazards of intertwining private wealth with public policy. His influence undermines grassroots solutions, replacing them with top-down mandates from U.N. forums or protest-driven PACs. With 2020s carbon regulations based partly on Soros-funded data, Americans now grapple with electricity shortages and higher prices—a reminder that even a “green future” laundered by celebrity scientists or protestations of saving children must be scrutinized for its true cost. The stakes, as Alex Soros’ OSF continues, are existential. Sources include: NewBusters.org CNBC.com
