The era of climate conflicts has begun.
From Africa to Asia and Latin America, extreme weather conditions are causing banditry, humanitarian crises, and the failure of states.
Tropic of Chaos follows investigative journalist Christian Parenti along the frontlines of this growing disaster zone: economically and politically weakened postcolonial countries and war zones around the global mid-latitudes. He shows how some states are failing due to climate disasters, but also how Western military powers are using the crisis to prepare for prolonged global conflicts.
Parenti warns of the emergence of 'climate fascism' — a hardening of politics in rich countries that will fail. Unstable developing countries must not collapse, as that would drag other countries down with them. A sustainable approach with appropriate economic and development strategies is necessary.
