Don't confuse me with facts: How right-wing populism affects trust in agencies advocating anthropogenic climate change as a reality

A survey of 3,032 Norwegians indicates that a lack of trust in environmental institutions is strongly associated with the denial of anthropogenically caused climate change (ACC). This distrust and denial are further influenced by anti-elitist attitudes, opposition to migration, and specific views of nature.

• There is a strong association between a lack of trust in environmental institutions and the denial of anthropogenically caused climate change (ACC) within the Norwegian public.
• The level of trust or distrust in environmental institutions is partially determined by anti-elitist attitudes, opposition to migration, and perspectives on nature.
• ACC denial is further intensified by factors including socio-demographic characteristics, attitudes toward elites and immigration, and ecocentric views of nature.
