Editing Geopolitics of the Anthropocene (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Understanding</span> ==
Anthropocene geopolitics is understood through '''Instability''' and '''Interdependence'''.

'''1. The "Threat Multiplier" (Instability)''':
"Climate" makes "Bad Situations" "Worse."
* (See Article 677). **Realists** "Argue" that "Climate Change" "Does Not" "Cause" "War" directly.
* Instead, it is a **"Multiplier"**: a "Drought" (see Article 589) "Causes" "Food Prices to Rise," which "Leads" to "Riots," which "Triggers" **"Civil War."** (e.g. 'Syria').
* "The Environment" "Erodes" the **"Legitimacy"** of the "State" (see Article 676).
* "Nature" is **"Unstable Power."**

'''2. The "Changing" Chessboard (Arctic and Scarcity)''':
"The Map" is "Moving."
* In **Traditional Geopolitics**, "Geography" was "Fixed."
* In the **Anthropocene**, the **"Arctic Ocean"** is "Opening" for the "First Time" in "Human History."
* This "Creates" a **"New Frontier"** for "Resource Competition."
* Simultaneously, "Rising Seas" (see Article 545) "Threaten" to **"Submerge"** "Island Nations" and "Coastal Cities."
* "The Ground" is **"Fluid."**

'''3. The "Planetary" Logic (Interdependence)''':
"Borders" cannot "Stop" "Heat."
* (See Article 678). **Liberals** "Argue" that the **Anthropocene** "Requires" **"Hyper-Cooperation."**
* (See Article 665). **Longtermists** "Argue" that if we "Fail" to "Act" as a **"Single Planet,"** we "Face" **"Existential Risk."**
* **Anthropocene Geopolitics** "Forces" a "Re-evaluation" of the **"Nation-State"**: it is "Too Small" to "Solve" the "Problem" and "Too Large" to "Ignore" it.
* "Survival" is **"Planetary."**

'''The 'Climate Refugee' Paradox'''': (See Article 645). Under "Current International Law," a "Refugee" must be "Fleeing Persecution" (by humans). "Fleeing" a **"Rising Ocean"** "Does Not" "Count." It proved that "Human Rights" "Are Not Prepared" for the **"Geophysical Reality"** of the 21st Century.
