PDF-[BOOK]-Tropics of Chaos

From Africa to Asia and Latin America the era of climate wars has begun Extreme weather is breeding banditry humanitarian crisis and state failure In Tropic of Chaos investigative journalist Christian Parenti travels along the front lines of this gathering catastrophethe belt of economically and politically battered postcolonial nations and war zones girding the planets midlatitudes Here he finds failed states amid climatic disasters But he also reveals the unsettling presence of Western military forces and explains how they see an opportunity in the crisis to prepare for openended global counterinsurgency Parenti argues that this incipient climate fascism a political hardening of wealthy states is bound to fail The struggling states of the developing world cannot be allowed to collapse as they will take other nations down as well Instead we must work to meet the challenge of climatedriven violence with a very different set of sustainable economic and development policies. Determinism and Randomness . Classical physics is deterministic!. If you know where you started you know where you are going. Randomness:. Quantum randomness is truly random and unpredictable. A lot of randomness is actually complexity and uncertainty. Clint . Sprott. Department of Physics. University of Wisconsin - Madison. Presented . to Physics 311. at University of Wisconsin. in .
