In many ways, this is business as usual. Climate change is an international problem requiring international cooperation, the possibilities for which are determined by geopolitics. But this year, something more unsettling is emerging: climate change is itself beginning to impact geopolitics.

Not a single mention of capitalism, and reformist bs like
For example, out of the crises of the interwar period and the devastation of the second world war came legal protections for human rights, universal welfare systems and decolonisation.
Ignoring the fact that all are on the rise again (E: “all being eroded again” might have been a better way to put it), because capitalism is decaying in to fascism again, and will continue to do so in never ending cycles unless it is abolished, makes this yet another fluff piece that completely misses the point.
Climate change is going to hit poorer countries hardest, but rich countries will feel it through mass migration.
Europe already struggled with refugees from Syria and Africa, and climate migration will be on a whole different scale.
Countries like Denmark just aren’t set up to handle millions of new people without major changes.
It’s going to take global cooperation and some hard decisions to deal with what’s coming.
I hate to say it, but the mass influx of climate migrants will cause even harder backlashes and more fascist responses. It’s reallll bleak.
The price of our inaction is more than the cost to stop it.
Counterpoint by the powerful capitalists that choose how much action to take through their captured world governments:
The price of our inaction will be externalized and passed onto you poories when we run away to our luxury bunker tombs to sip oak aged bourbons and live out our final years nonsensically blaming your weathered corpses sitting above our heads for what we did.
