Does an imperial America seize control of Greenland?

Does Russia pursue its claim?

It has made very expansive claims to most of the territory of the ocean that leads to the North Pole.

So there are things like that where the climate is shifting geography.

But of course, it's also shifting the way that the whole basis of economies.

So the energy transition, obviously, from reliance on hydrocarbon energy, largely to renewable energy, the electrification, that is a profound shift in terms of where power sits in the world.

At the moment, it sits...

with countries that have access and can control hydrocarbons.

Well, that shift will go to particularly China that has kind of led the race in the energy transition.

Yeah, it's certainly something that I came across when I was working on the book, and you see it in lots of countries.

So this isn't just in the US, or clearly it's happening in the UK.

Nigel Farage quite often adopts climate skeptic or sometimes flirts with denialism.

Yes, why do populists do this?

I think partly because the climate crisis, whilst in some respects it's visceral, it's something we can see if we see an extreme weather event, the aftermath or something.

But in many cases, it's the opposite.

It's something that's mediated by experts.

We can't see how many parts per million of CO2 there are.

We're just being told that.

And sometimes these experts are telling us that we've got to change the way we live our lives in ways that might be more expensive or less convenient, whether it's

cutting down on certain types of food or short-haul air travel or whatever.
