Super El Niño Could Splinter Politics as Climate Crisis Bites

A Super El Niño landing on top of accelerating climate change won’t just smash crops, homes and lives. It could smash the political order protecting the polluters who helped create the crisis.

I don’t think we’ve considered the political realities of what happens when the climate collapses.

The impacts of a Super El Niño are going to be terrifying for those living under it…

…and it looks like it could be worse than 1877…

…so what happens when the extremes of climate change begin to manifest in ways you can no longer ignore?

A Super El Niño won’t leave politics untouched

For the wealthy, they will move, build higher walls and get extra air conditioning, for everyone else, they flee.

If the West is having trouble with refugees now, imagine how much more extreme it will get when temperatures get hotter and hotter.

Radical environmental movements aimed at undermining big polluter infrastructure is on the horizon as well as a shattering of the political spectrum.

And then there are the polluters writing the rules

Look at the current scandal exposed by activist Mike Smith where Big Polluters allegedly lobbied for legislation designed to shut down his case.

Those who create the most climate-changing pollution are nervous that the political class won’t be able to keep the people chained into subservience and might use politics as a means to constrain or punish those Big Polluters.

The obviousness that democracy has been replaced by plutocracy will drive a rage that will end in revolution.
