Welcome to the Rapture! How Rightwing Populism and Accelerationism Intersect with Climate

Jesse Bryant, a doctoral candidate at Yale focused on far-right climate politics, and Dieter Plehwe from the University of Kassel, who studies climate obstruction, dive into the alarming ties between right-wing populism and climate action resistance. They discuss how authoritarianism is rising in the U.S. and Europe, the political implications of Catholicism, and the repurposing of climate narratives into immigration debates. Plus, they unravel the shadowy world of influential think tanks and the techniques employed to stall meaningful climate change efforts.
