As the world reckons with the grim reality of the climate crisis, right-wing populists are adapting their message.

Everyday public denial of anthropogenically caused climate change (ACC) has complex antecedents and exists on both individual and institutional levels. Earlier research has linked ACC denial to opposition to formal science and elites, perceived threats to the industrialist capitalist order and existing system properties. Research also suggest that trust in public organizations is a key factor in determining support or opposition to climate change policies. In this paper, we explore the possibility that right wing populism and anti-elitist attitudes fuel both ACC denial and low trust in environmental institutions. We surveyed a representative sample of Norwegians (N = 3032) to measure ACC denial, how denial is linked to socio-demographic characteristics, trust in environmental institutions, attitudes toward elites and immigration, as well as environmental attitude orientations. Results show that lack of trust in environmental institutions is strongly associated with ACC denial, and furthermore that the degree of trust—or lack thereof—is partly a function of anti-elitist attitudes, opposition to migration and views of nature.

Extrem rechte Akteur*innen bekämpfen Maßnahmen gegen den anthropogen verursachten Klimawandel mit unterschiedlichen Mitteln. Dabei nutzen sie auch Argumente des Natur- und Artenschutzes und versuchen in Bürgerinitiativen und Bündnissen Fuß zu fassen.
