Fantastic thread that speaks to one particular immediate crisis that is, of course, a thread in the larger polycrisis.
The Northern nations have built a way of life that does not have a long-term future. Most in those nations do not want to face that reality. Will do anything to turn away from the truth of our energy supply and our carbon output.
There's no magic bullet, no wand waving fix. The future will be humans adapting to great difficulties (to put it mildly) as they try to survive in a much hotter, less predictable climate that is limiting stable agriculture.
Given the current moment of the US and the global community, there's a lot that should figure into how we move forward. Nation states have not proven themselves to be peaceful or cooperative, but, rather, the opposite. The same for capitalism.
The kind of revolution we need is deep, one that requires fundamental shifts in relationships and thinking about life on our shared planet.
