Nationalise Climate Change Campaigning?

This is a rather 'tongue-in-cheek' article by George Monbiot (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/aug/28/dear-ministers-i-am-a-climate-crisis-campaigner-nationalise-me-right-now). He's really just pointing out the nature of the excessively uneven contest in the UK between climate crisis campaigners and opposing 'lobby' groups. Folk who want to carry on doing things that will lead to climate collapse (petrochemical extractors, airlines, steel makers etc.) are very much richer than the climate campaigners. The former's wealth naturally gives them vast opportunities to 'buy' political influence; to employ teams of lawyers to attack 'opponents'; to set up 'thinktanks'; to purchase advertising etc. Recent UK law changes, have also mean't that many non-violent activities of protest (e.g. slow marching and 'locking on'), can (and do) lead to long prison sentences/large fines for campaigners. Monbiot suggests that folk, in general, will always continue to be frequent flyers, drivers of massive SUVs, eaters of large steaks etc., when government doesn't legislate, to enourage them to stop. He thinks that government, knowing that climate change is a real problem, can't leave campaigners, with both hands tied behind their backs, to drive home the necessary, urgent message. Nationalisation, of course, won't happen. Why risk a backlash from wealthy 'drivers' of the economy?
