    The good news is that it is still something we can deal with. I mean, to just give up is to let the current “owners of the world win” ( billionaires and gang).

      And how do we stop those billionaires?

      The way that I see it, they won’t stop by themselves. We either get politicians to finally stop them (highly doubtful) or the world citizens stop them by force.

      What other solution is there?

        I mean honestly a fundamental restructuring of democracy in the US. We need a 3rd party in the US that can hijack the Democratic party apparatus without falling victim to its trappings in order to crack the first-past-the-post system; without that, capital has the oppressive power of the top 5 most funded militaries in human history. The US squats on any country that even thinks of not playing nicely with capital, and without that there can be no resistance to climate change.

        Beyond that, you really just need to prepare. Blah blah, mutual aid, community defense, etc. I’m not gonna bore you with what you know, just reiterate that it WILL help when shit hits the fan. I guarantee you when your kids are getting conscripted into the water wars, you’re gonna want to have enough community presence to push back.
