Internationally, the far right plays an important role in normalizing climate denial. Whereas the fossil industry uses climate denial to sow confusion and protect their profits, the far right also tries to build a movement by spreading disinformation. In the Netherlands, figures such as Marcel Crok (founder of the web blog Climategate), the antisemite Rypke Zeilmaker and the neofascist party Forum for Democracy play a central role in disregarding the climate crisis as a 'hoax'. By opposing windmills and biomass, they cast themselves as 'protectors of the Dutch landscape'. Ecofascist ideas still play a limited role in this movement, but the escalating climate crisis may soon change this.
