As Homo selfishens breaches more planetary boundaries (climate #disruption being just one of those) the #results will show up not just via adverse #weather events but through serious# economic disruption. That will include worsening inflation, #supplychain problems, #crop# failures, and debt default. The result will be increasing inequality, #poverty and #crime.
Conventional economics will attempt to explain these in the usual hand-waving terms, and fail.
Angry #citizens will, as always, blame the incumbent #government. In #democracies this will lead to pointless lurching from left to right and back again, with – very likely – a gradual trend towards #autocracy. In non-democratic nations, it’ll lead to a rapid clampdown on human #rights and #dissent. The end result, in either case, is #dictatorship.
To that mix, add the increasing problem of mass #migration from #tropical states that are failing #economically as well as gradually becoming unlivable due to climate disruption, and we have the perfect recipe for #violent #unrest in coming #decades.
Any #planning for a viable future must surely take this into account and try to #educate the wider #public; if we do that we might ameliorate the worst of it.
If we fail, the future is #fascism.

As we collapse, this free online book provides examples of what action we can take collectively. Taken from academic literature, it’s about how we struggle together as the world we have depended up…
