Thanks for the interesting post, Barry. How much of this vision is shaped by capitalism greatest contradiction: The system has to destroy the human ecosystem in order to grow; the alternative to runaway global warming strands trillions of dollars of fossil assets and destroy a great amount of capital, along with the capitalists, shake the global financial system, and possibly depress much of the global economy. As Klein and Taylor wrote: "Interestingly, at a time when previously secular Silicon Valley elites are suddenly finding <https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/christianity-was-borderline-illegal-in-silicon-valley-now-its-the-new-religion> Jesus, it is noteworthy that both of these visions – the priority-pass corporate state and the mass-market bunker nation – share a great deal in common with the Christian fundamentalist interpretation of the biblical Rapture, when the faithful will supposedly be lifted up to a golden city in heaven, while the damned are left to endure an apocalyptic final battle down here on earth." As a result of global warming, many fires block out the sun all around the world in the summertime. It's almost biblical: Fire from heaven destoying the wicked who cannot jet away to some other place on planet Earth where it's wintertime, and not too dry.
