#1 ...There's a wonderful book by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle called Fallen Angels - goes back to the early 90s, I think - wherein the Greens get control of everything and do their worst...only to discover that the only thing holding back the worst of all the Ice Ages was anthropogenic warming. And of course, since they can't possibly be wrong, it must be the fault of the small remnant living in LEO.

Some of the imagery is stunning/terrifying, and a lot of the politics are all too familiar. Between this and D. Keith Mano's The Bridge, you can get a good hard look at what the Greens really want.

#3 If you are a would-be Oligarch wanting to establish a world-spanning "Technocracy" with the elite few naturally in charge (it is great to be the nomenklatura!) then ANY excuse is good enugh. For decades it was the Malthusian Scenario of overpopulation outstripping resources (still is come to think of it), then it was Pollution!!!1!!!, and now it is Global ~~Warming~~ Climate Change. All of these seem to require unelected overlords to reign in the peasants' desire for a good life...

#7 I read it in 2019. It even had a detail of a random killing in DC causing a bunch of havoc. I felt like I was reading prophecy.
