Back in the early to mid 2010s there was this view that you should gently convince right wingers to believe in climate science and my response was always: "a right wing that believes the science is scarier than one that denies it"

It’s never been about belief. Any excuse will do (whether it aligns with the science or completely contradicts it)!

This paper had everyone freaking out at Twitter, because it was (quite falsely) taken as an endorsment of fascism and not (what it was) a warning that not dealing with climate could undermine democratic legitimacy--as if no one believed such a thing could happen.

Yep, @brooklynmarie.bsky.social and I were also warning about this for years. Betsy Hartmann and Simon Dalby were doing so back in the 1990s (no coincidence that my wife and I met in his class)- www.jstor.org/stable/44251...

Populists are skilled* at redirecting any disaster against the victims of it. Reactionaries leverage that through ecofascism. *In that it's their only tactic, so they have a lot of practice and systems of communication/information and people in general reward consistency over humanism.

Horrifyingly, they have probably always known it to be true.

Right wing, conservative, libertarian etc ideologies break at every intersection with climate. Preventing it, dealing with it, understanding it, ensuring all of those things don't worsen the others, etc.

Nazis (officially at least) were major environmentalists, eco-fascism is a normal part of fascism.
