Lol of course they have a paywall. Yes there are architectural things and so on that can increase your resilience, however their conditions for recommended climate migration are temporary (age/child status) and rich people will probably do it anyway. Their recommendations make it sound like they don’t believe what they’re saying. “We’re going to die in five years and everyone has been lying to you, but just leave society and pressure your government and you’ll be fine.” I will choose to assume they are in good faith and just unable to think beyond liberal solutions, but we Marxists actually know the real solutions. In the words of Gramsci, “what is to be done? Nothing more than to destroy the present form of civilization.” Not much can be taken from this cite beyond a renewed urgency for action, to prepare your community for climate change’s inevitable consequences, and organize for socialism.
Thank you for your thoughts on this!
