The climate emergency is intensifying, while international responses continue to falter. The author outlines here a revolutionary approach grounded in realist thinking : redefining climate change as an existential threat to nation states - which is undoubtedly is - and mobilizing both national security elites and mass nationalism. To date, Western militaries have neglected climate change and have instead prioritized traditional but less serious threats. That needs to change. The author reminds us that nationalism has proven to be the most powerful force in motivating people to care about the wellbeing of future generations. No other force has the capacity to legitimize the sacrifices necessary to limit climate change and help us survive the effects of it. Simply put, the current crisis requires greatly strengthened social and national solidarity across lines of class and race. Throughout, the author draws on historical examples to show how earlier political movements marshaled nationalism to implement progressive social reform. He strongly supports plans for a 'Green New Deal' in the United States and Europe. In order to implement and maintain such a policy revolution, however, it will be necessary to create dominant national consensuses like those that enabled and sustained the original New Deal and the advanced welfare states in Europe. The author also criticizes elements of the environmentalist left for their hostility to national interests, their utopian political naievete, their advancement of divisive cultural agendas, and their commitment to open borders.
