Global Heating and the Australian Far Right examines the
environmental politics of far-right actors and movements in
Australia, exploring their broader political context and responses
to climate change. The book traces the development of far-right
pseudo-environmentalism and territorial politics, from colonial
genocide and Australian nationalism to extreme-right political
violence. Through a critical analysis of news and social media, it
reveals how denialist and resignatory attitudes towards climate
change operate alongside extreme right accelerationism, in a wider
Australian political context characterised by reactionary fossil
fuel politics and neoliberal New Right climate change agendas. The
authors scrutinise the manipulation of environmental politics by
contemporary Australian far- and extreme-right actors in
cross-national online media. They also assess the
political-ideological context of the contemporary far right,
addressing intergovernmental approaches to security threats
connected to the far right and climate change, and the emergence of
radical environmentalist traditions in ‘New Catastrophism’
literature. The conclusion synthesises key insights, analysing the
mainstreaming of ethnonationalist and authoritarian responses to
global heating, and potential future trajectories of far-right
movements exploiting the climate crisis. It also emphasises the
necessity for radical political alternatives to counter the far
right’s exploitation of climate change. This book will be of
interest to researchers of climate change, the far right,
neoliberal capitalism, extremism and Australian politics.
