- Aerroon 4y ago>However, I think pax Americana ends with climate change. Perhaps, but it might also give opportunities to further it: "No, Brazil, you can't cut down your forest in your country for farmland. We have to fight climate change! You need to stop right now or else." If you read about Brazil cutting down parts of the Amazon in places like reddit you'll find that a lot of people in the developed world hold this kind of an opinion. They might even be willing to back some form of sanctions or punishment for Brazil for doing it. This gives a convenient excuse for developed nations to meddle with other countries again.
