Global instability linked to climate crises and geopolitical shifts

An opinion piece discusses a sense of global instability driven by both environmental crises and geopolitical maneuvering. On the environmental front, the text cites increasing natural disasters, including frequent earthquakes in South America, sixth-generation wildfires in Spain and elsewhere, European droughts, and extreme Mediterranean warming.

Regarding geopolitics, the author argues that the United States and Israel are working to control strategic maritime passages to counter the rising influence of China and Russia. This includes efforts to influence Morocco regarding the Strait of Gibraltar, maintaining control over the Strait of Hormuz, and potential interests in Greenland. The text characterizes these actions as attempts by a declining empire to maintain power through military industry and conflict amidst significant national debt.
