The Rassemblement National (National Rally) does not practice outright climate change denial, but it promotes a form of "climate skepticism" or "climate delay." The party avoids questioning the physical science of global warming, but systematically opposes the policies required to address it. 

The party's stance revolves around the following principles:

• "Punitive Ecology" Opposition: The RN campaigns against environmental regulations, such as the European Union Green Deal, emissions targets, and carbon taxes, claiming these measures disproportionately harm working-class citizens and threaten national independence. 
• Downplaying Urgency: Key figures in the party have frequently dismissed scientific warnings regarding emissions as "alarmist". 
• Alternative Solutions: Rather than transitioning to renewable energy, the RN's environmental proposals rely heavily on national protectionism, boosting nuclear energy, and opposing the construction of massive retail spaces
