It also explains the push for control of Greenland, so the US can project power into the Arctic against Russian, Chinese and European influence over natural resources as the ice melts.
I'm of the opinion that the powers that be have access to the best climate projections, and they're bad. Really bad. Bad enough that they're not telling the general public. Even some of the world's leading climate scientists, such as James Hansen, are now saying climate change is accelerating, not slowing, despite all the renewables we've rolled out so far, and that 2C of warming is baked in at this point. We'll likely blow past 3-4C by the end of the century. 4C of warming guarantees that any land within 500 miles of the equator becomes completely unsurvivable from excessive heat and humidity.
