The small oasis' as the planet dies are targeted to be controlled by the rich, they own the weapons manufacturing companies, the medicine labs, the agrucultural tech; they will undemocratically call the shots and you will know your place.
Sounds like we're on the fast track to this reality.

It really does. It doesn't so much where i'm from. I'd say most, by no means not all, would feel pretty lucky in their comparative situation.

But internationally the unjustified levels of private ownership, and rentier capitalists doing sweet tenths of fuck all, and ongoing inequities, has captured and crushed the dynamism of the Post War settlements.

Indeed civilisations collapse.

Regardless, we need to, as we can't continue as we are ignoring the laws of nature but I'd rather we did it in a managed and equitable way i.e.

Instead we seem to have defaulted to the oligarchs and us peasants as a way to organise our society and voters will enable that to continue at the next election.

Not quite sure why people choose that but here we are.

To add to the onitial link, another from today

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/16/south-australia-historic-dry-weather-parched-waterways-dead-fish-and-trees-ready-to-give-up

pools and waterways are parched, leaving freshwater fish stranded and dead.

Luke Price, an ecologist for the regional landscape body Landscapes Hills and Fleurieu, says “we’re definitely seeing local extinctions of small populations of fish that usually sought refuge in those pools”.

Wattles and eucalypts, particularly messmate stringybarks, have been dying throughout the Adelaide Hills, while along coastal dunes and clifftops, shrubs like coast daisy bush and coast beard-heath are suffering.

Dr Stefan Caddy-Retalic, an ecologist at the University of Adelaide, says many tree species were showing signs of deterioration and stress such as dead limbs, excessive leaf scorching or sprouting new shoots from the base due to the “ratcheting” effects of lower rainfall, higher temperatures and development that encroached on tree roots.

As the city’s climate continued to shift from warm mediterranean to semi-arid due to global heating, a lot of the introduced trees people associated with Adelaide – like jacarandas, plane trees and oaks – and some natives, such as grey box, will continue to struggle, he says, with potentially devastating consequences for the animals that rely on them for food and habitat
