==Climate change denier==
On [[climate change]], Tybring-Gjedde has said: "I don't believe in the climate hysteria."<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150416231644/http://nyemeninger.no/alle_meninger/cat1003/subcat1012/thread149758/ Tybring-Gjedde for global oppvarming], ''Dagsavisen'', 27 May 2011</ref>

==Anti-immigration activist and Islamophobe==
Christian Tybring-Gjedde is noted for his activism against [[immigration]] and, specifically, against the immigration of [[Islam|Muslims]] to Norway. He has claimed that he "doesn’t have the conscience" to be quiet about his [[conspiracy theory]] that Norway is a victim of "sneaking Islamization," a claim he has made repeatedly.<ref>[http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/politikk/Tybring-Gjedde-mener-snikislamisering-er-et-godt-og-aktuelt-ord-7314538.html#.Ujwl1G1-eW8 Tybring-Gjedde mener «snikislamisering» er et godt og aktuelt ord], ''Aftenposten'', 18 September 2013</ref> He has further claimed that immigrants "are threatening Norwegian culture."<ref name="nie" />

In a 2010 op-ed, he wrote "we don't believe in [[Multiculturalism|multiculture]]" and claimed that immigration of non-ethnic Norwegians was "idiocy in the long term, and we think it might tear our country apart," echoing [[Anders Behring Breivik]]'s later manifesto.<ref>[http://www.frifagbevegelse.no/dagens_kommentar/article6870119.ece Rasistene stemmer Frp], ''Fri Fagbevegelse'', 18 September 2013</ref>
