By Alfred W. McCoy,  the Harrington professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.His new book is “To Govern the Globe: World Orders and Catastrophic Change.”

Excerpt: The question of the moment should be: Is climate change now gathering sufficient destructive force to cripple Washington’s liberal world order and create an opening for Beijing’s decidedly illiberal one or possibly even a new world in which such orders will be unrecognizable? …

Looking back over the last millennium, old orders die and new ones arise when a cataclysm, marked by mass death or a maelstrom of destruction, coincides with some slower yet sweeping social transformation. Since the age of European exploration started in the 15th century, some 90 empires, large and small, have come and gone. In those same centuries, however, there have been only three major world orders — the Iberian age (1494-1805), the British imperial era (1815-1914) and the Washington world system (1945-2025).

Title and premise:
"Salon.com: ‘Will climate change bring an end to America’s world order?’"

No.
Of course not.

But what WILL "bring an end" to America's "world order" is DEMOGRAPHIC change.
Happening now, near you.
