As the catastrophe of global warming becomes seemingly impossible to deny, will right-wing denial disappear? Or will it simply become yet more deranged?

    Yup, it’s absolutely just going to get more and more deranged.

    We’re already seeing reich-wingers outright deny that eg. southern Europe has had an unusually hot heatwave – or even a heatwave at all. I’ve seen more than one claim that some of the forest fires we’ve had around Europe either didn’t happen or were caused by – surprise surprise – foreigners purposefully setting fire to them because reasons.

    I figure that once things get extremely bad, they’ll absolutely keep denying humanity has anything to do with it, but the social instability that extreme climate change will cause will be a great excuse for them to start outright murdering “leftists” (ie. anyone left of the Strasserites), or at least more than they already are at any rate.
