I've been playing the Half Earth Socialism game again and was wondering about novels set in a world dealing with climate change and scarcity.

    This is a big theme of a lot of Kim Stanley Robinson's fiction, especially his Mars trilogy and Ministry for the Future.

        Mars trilogy is long and takes place pre and post revolution. Ministry for the Future doesn't really fit the bill unless you really finagle the definition of revolution. 2312 seems to have some sort of communist mode of production going on in the rest of the solar system but I'm not sure how they got there. KSR isn't a Marxist and how political change happens in his books reflect that. However, he does not dismiss violence.
