The coming climate war
by digby
Josh Marshall took a look at the countries which will be most affected by climate change. (It ain’t us, btw.)
He wonders how these countries most affected will deal with this since they are also the countries in the midst of an industrial hyper-revolution where people are getting access to a first world lifestyle for the first time. A very good question. It’s fairly clear that there will be, at the very least, some extraordinary migration that’s going to cause some unpredictable upheaval.
I also have to wonder if the US and Europe — both of which will be affected in many ways, including flooding, but not the the same extreme extent — will take the high road or if this will become a matter of “national security.” And I think you know what that usually means …
