Tropic of Chaos

In Tropic of Chaos, Christian Parenti explores the global impact of climate change, focusing on its effects in postcolonial nations and war zones across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The book uncovers how extreme weather fuels crises like banditry and state failure, while also revealing the presence of Western military forces and their strategic responses. Parenti argues that rising political tensions—referred to as "climate fascism"—are unlikely to succeed and emphasizes the importance of sustainable policies to address climate-driven violence.
