I’m just curious how the far-right is framing these developments, and how it differs per country.

Are they mostly talking about the “pyromaniacs”?

Or about how governments failed to do organize the (supposedly normal) periodic low intensity fires to prevent the big ones?

Or are they simply not talking about it at all?

If you have any concrete links to local media, I would be very curious!

    For example: Vlaams Belang (far-right in Belgium) is all indignant about how the country supposedly spent too much on climate mitigation (something they have always fought) and not enough on climate adaptation.

    See for example this piece on their website about the forest fires, titled: “forget about the climate church, start investing in climate adaptation”.

      Over here in germany i also had some news channel or radio or something say something regarding this.

      It was said that the statement - that we did too less in adaption and should have saved ressources for that by investing less in climate mitigation - is utter bullshit and we should have invested more in both and that this new discussion is stupid.

      Wanted to point that out since it seems like our right wing idiots have the same talking points as yours.

      Almost feels like this entire discussion is another one of those big right wing investor/media mogul type of discussion thats being forced onto society by right wing media shills.

        They try to frame science as a “religion” so that they can argue that their beliefs are just as valid and they can ignore the science.
