A major reason ISIS took and maintained power in Syria was because they gained control over the water supply. It will be easier for future historians to analyze the Syrian Civil War (since they will have the benefit of hindsight). One hypothesis on how the war escalated is the lack of access to fresh water.

In other words, we entered the "water wars" stage of climate collapse about a decade ago.

Do you have any resources to read about climate change? I know that things will get worse but I'm pretty illiterate on the specifics

These conditions are not conducive to peace

Well said. There are a lot of stories from history of conflicts that emerged because the previously balanced systems tipped and suddenly a whole lot of people had to move and there were already people where they intended to go. It's basically why the whole white yeoman homestead idea the right fetishes is such a dead end. Oh sure we're all content on our orderly acreages now. But what happens when Jeck Stumpman diverts the creek above your land? What if Borp Whingle chops down all his trees? What if the Jensensensens have thirty large adult sons that need land to inherit? "Every man a king of his tiny fief" exploding into feudal warlordism in a couple generations, guaranteed. Toss in a natural weather event and the process just accelerates.

The people that control our political economies have zero fucking clue how to handle a complete systemic crisis. So far their only solution is "I guess we'll mash the fascism button even harder."
