Monbiot warns strongmen like Trump would burn the planet out of spite
Original: Strongmen like Trump would destroy the planet out of pure spite – and Brazil shows we’re all in peril
Guardian columnist George Monbiot argues that authoritarian leaders such as Donald Trump would rather destroy the environment than share resources with the poor. He points to Brazil, warning that if Flávio Bolsonaro is elected, the country's ecosystems will face collapse. Monbiot says the ruling class would rather see the world burn than surrender privilege.
Why now: George Monbiot's sharply worded column linking Trump-style authoritarianism and Brazil's election to environmental collapse is drawing attention.
