ABSTRACT
How do natural disasters affect elite policymaker communication about environmental issues? Natural disasters are highly salient events that capture individuals’ attention. As a result, policymakers may increase communication on environmental topics in order to better align with constituent or ideological concerns. Using a novel data set of 88,211 tweets from U.S. Congress members, I find that the occurrence of natural disasters in a policymaker’s constituency leads to increased environmental messaging, particularly among Democrats and representatives of Democratic-leaning areas. The effect is strongest in electorally safe districts, regardless of party. Overall, natural disasters induce greater environmental communication from policymakers, but such effects vary greatly depending on the partisan landscape. This work has important implications for ongoing political gridlock and partisanship that hinders meaningful climate and environmental policy

ABSTRACT
Ecofascists’ environmentalism is primarily built around hatred. It builds on long-standing politics that conceive of population issues as the primary environmental problem. Using population replacement arguments about the threat of growing Black, immigrant, and Muslim populations, eco-fascists argue that immigrants are a threat to the environment, habitat, and home for white people of European descent. Building on a comparative analysis of majority-minority (MM) news narratives and Great Replacement (GR) rhetoric in three eco-fascist screeds, we argue that 1) MM discourse lends false legitimacy to GR assertions about population change and bolsters demographic anxieties, and 2) far-right shooters environmentalise by articulating a form of fascist solastalgia that is environmentally grounded. This article contributes to analyses of eco-emotions by foregrounding eco-hate and the role of contemporary population politics in current environmental anxieties.
