Severity of climate disaster in unequal society
For the present stage of climate disaster, "The more unequal the
society is, the
more
severe the climate disaster".
That is plausible in the short term, while the disasters are within
what society can cope with if it is well organized to do so. Thus,
the people who are truly crushed are the poor. Make fewer people poor,
and the local climate disasters are survivable.
But that won't apply if climate disaster reaches the stage at which
globalized industrial production collapses, each region is reduced to
what it can produce locally, the level of technology is sinking,
and most humans die.
