From Africa to Asia and Latin America, the era of climate wars has
begun. Extreme weather is breeding banditry, humanitarian crisis,
and state failure.
In "Tropic of Chaos," investigative journalist Christian Parenti
travels along the front lines of this gathering catastrophe--the
belt of economically and politically battered postcolonial nations
and war zones girding the planet's midlatitudes. Here he finds
failed states amid climatic disasters. But he also reveals the
unsettling presence of Western military forces and explains how
they see an opportunity in the crisis to prepare for open-ended
global counterinsurgency.
Parenti argues that this incipient "climate fascism"--a
political hardening of wealthy states-- is bound to fail. The
struggling states of the developing world cannot be allowed to
collapse, as they will take other nations down as well. Instead, we
must work to meet the challenge of climate-driven violence with a
very different set of sustainable economic and development
policies.
