As climate change increases its impact, energy sources will grow scarcer and prices rise, and we will be part of the inability of institutions to follow the trends down. Businesses and governments will weaken. New conditions for institutional evolution will arise as old ones fade away.
The overall result will be a serious simplification of outer lives and their machines. This will, like the plague, lead to a megadeath and a scavenger society where people are struggling looking for what remains useful. We need to go there as there is no way to purposefully reconfigure everything, and there is way too much, that we have.
Nate Hagens and his site The Great Simplification has led this idea of cutting existing systems, and staying at the systems level ( all related issues globally). Like Michaux, he is good on the engineering side but undeveloped on the emerging social issues: politics, institutions, and relationships among people, and with the self. The plague could lead to a painful reconfiguring of humanity's tenure on the earth under conditions of climate change
