I find it incredibly unlikely that we are going to be able to avoid the brunt of climate change. Mass flooding is going to happen and countries like Bangladesh will be swallowed up by the sea. Refugee crises are going to happen at unprecedented scales and there will likely be wars. Even the paltry GND, which is almost certainly not going to be instituted, would not prevent this.
This was inevitable under capitalism. As a system that requires constant growth, it is incredibly brittle and does not lend itself well to long-term, sustainable planning. The only question for me now is: how do we best prepare ourselves for the upcoming crisis, such that we might be able to construct an equitable, sustainable society out of it? Crisis doesn’t guarantee revolutionary change — but it can if we're organized properly.
