  1. @Hamishcampbell This is true.

    It's also ... common.

    Very nearly all wars are at heart resource wars, and the resources now in contention are both environmental sinks (for ever-increasing industrial pollutants, including but not limited to CO2).

    I recommend as strongly as possible the authors William Ophuls (Ecology and the Politics of Scarcity and Plato's Revenge most especially) and Thomas Homer-Dixon (The Ingenuity Gap, among others), who've explored both the ecology and politics of the era of scarcity and limits.
