Daniele Conversi, a political historian and social theorist at the University of the Basque Country who has studied ecofascism, underscored how these wealthy special interests and their ideologies pose a major threat by obscuring uncomfortable scientific truths and channeling popular attention elsewhere.

In fact, instead of referring to the modern movement as “ecofascism,” Conversi prefers the term “fossil fascism.”

“The threats of this ideology can be seen in how Nazism made ecofascism an official part of its program,” Callison said.

Ecofascism may sound appealing, at least on a superficial level, for people who are sincerely interested in protecting the planet.

The word “ecofascism” is used to describe these movements, although all of the scholars agree that it should be employed carefully.
