Black Rock City, Nevada - Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has claimed that Burning Man attendees stuck in Nevada's muddy Black Rock Desert are likely "brainwashed" into thinking their difficulties are due to the climate crisis.

Burning Man festivalgoers were in for a nasty surprise this year when it rained on their parade, leaving the roads so muddy that most vehicles were unable to pass.

On Monday, the final day of the massive annual party, there were still more than 70,000 people stranded, with at least one death reported over the weekend.

The torrential downpours sparked discussion about worsening climate events, but there's at least one person who thinks that's all a bunch of baloney: Marjorie Taylor Greene.

The Georgia Republican claimed during an InfoWars appearance on Sunday that people are "probably being brainwashed that climate change is the cause of all of it, is the root of all evil, and is going to destroy the Earth."

She also implied that the flooding might be some form of divine retribution against the attendees, saying, "God has a way of making sure everyone knows who God is, I'll say that about that."

The rightwing backlash to Burning Man comes in stark contrast to environmental activists' take on the event.

At the start of the festival, the Seven Circles coalition – comprised of Extinction Rebellion, Rave Revolution, and Scientist Rebellion groups – blocked the roads in a climate demonstration, brandishing signs reading "Mother Earth needs our help" and "Burners of the world unite."

The protesters were calling on festival operators to ban travel by private jets, the use of disposable plastics, and the unlimited use of generators and propane, arguing that existing sustainability plans were nowhere near enough to curb emissions.

The action was violently suppressed by law enforcement when a police car rammed into the protesters' trailer and a cop pulled his gun on the demonstrators.
