Holocaust denial and Climate denial

It's about time someone wrote a serious (bahaha) journal article exploring thelinks between climate denial and holocaust denial.

The question at hand is, "Why is there a social counter-movement that rejects climate change?" This article begins by first naming this counter-movement "climate denial" and working through the various apparent options by specifically looking at the scholarship on Holocaust denial for insight. Through this insight, we can understand the counter-movement as a reactionary force working to sow confusion for ideological reasons that promote a specific privilege.

Couldn't have something to do the holes in the alarmist account?

What makes some of these warmists so fond of the holocaust line? Only recently Clive Hamilton wrote a vitriolic rant about this subject.
