Donald Trump has pledged to wage war on planet Earth , ripping up US climate commitments and reverting to unrestrained fossil fuel extraction and burning.

If he follows the Project 2025 agenda, he will leave the UN climate framework altogether, making his assault on Earth systems much harder to reverse.

His evangelical base, eager to advance the biblical apocalypse, will love him for it.

Monbiot : Trump is the distillation of capitalist pseudo-democracy.

In some ways, he can exercise greater power than medieval monarchs could have dreamed of.

New media channels, surveillance technologies, new means of crowd control, targeted assassination can be used to snuff out dissent with horrifying efficiency.

What do we do? Stop it from happening in our own countries.
