I was thinking to myself, “when will the effects of climate change get so bad that they provoke revolution” but then it occurred to me: they already did. Just in the wrong direction.
Syrians fled a civil war driven by the worst drought in a thousand years and Europe responded with a wave of reactionary fascism.
Central Americans fled rising temperatures that are killing agricultural workers and the U.S. responded with a wave of reactionary fascism.
Russia just happens to be in a war for control of some of the world’s best farmland.
Sudan is in the middle of a civil war and Niger just had its umpteenth coup.
Reactionaries are *already* at war with us over climate change. It’s only going to get worse as the world gets hotter.
