Contrarianism, the conscious denial of evidence in support of sectional interests, sets the scene for extremist authoritarian solutions to climate change. This important book demonstrates how associated far-right survivalism - based on exclusion, white supremacy and a fortress mentality - reverberates through the cybersphere and resonates at ground level among those desperate for answers to global heating. Challenging eco-fascism means knowing where it comes from, how it has evolved, and how best to combat it. This book is a must read for those pursuing social and ecological justice.

The current climate crisis has seen the far right in Australia (and around the world) promote neo-Malthusian solutions wrapped up in survivalism, white supremacy and bioregionalism. Global Heating and the Australian Far Right shows how many on the Australian far right have long incorporated concepts of nature into their political outlook, with the Australian landscape seen as something to be both dominated and used to nourish white settler colonial society. Richards, Brinn and Jones expertly outline the various ways in which environmental and anti-environmental politics have been embraced by the far right and the threat they present in the era of dramatic climate change.

Increasingly, global heating overturns all manner of social and political norms. Amid the turmoil of ecological collapse, elements of the far right already sense opportunities. This important book explains the origins and nature of ecofascism, and sounds a warning about how it might grow. Jeff Sparrow, Lecturer in Journalism, University of Melbourne, Australia
