Well over two years on from Brexit we still don't have the first clue what it's actually about. There is no point to it. It's clear that if it happens the UK breaks up and the economy tanks. The Tory 'Fuck Business' party seems perfectly happy with this. The 'opposition' seems to have morphed into some sort of toff's club for remembering a mythical lost age of socialism and the Lib Dems are criticized for not stopping the entire Tory manifesto EIGHT years ago, by the two parties who are currently poised to destroy gleefully everything all decent Brits hold dear.
The brexit elite clearly sniff a reduction of rights and controls that could bring them in even more cash despite a tanking economy. The far right see it as an opportunity to spread their drivel by using the Right Wing Propaganda Media Machine. The far left sniff anarchy, decline and some mysterious rebirth of sympathy for a political idea that was stale when created in the 1840s.
But the VAST majority of Brits don't belong to these weird groupings. We just want to get on with our lives without too much crap from politicians and without stuff breaking down. That's all been snatched from us. Why do politicians take the risk?? Why on earth do they want the UK to fall apart?? What's the benefit?
I don't believe in conspiracies or conspiracy theories. I believe in science and logic, common sense if you will. This is all bollocks!!
But what if these fuckers, this self appointed elite, are aware of what's happening over the next few decades. They all know about climate change, dipstick Trump and his idiot band of hangers on have already concluded that climate change can't be stopped and we should just get on with enjoying the next few decades, with all the damage and danger that will cause if we don't address things.
As for energy constraints, they must surely be aware (as we are) that the rapid decline in supply and rapid rise in price of fossil fuels will undermine everything that we currently take for granted.
Perhaps they've concluded that governing through madness, illogic and myth may keep a lid on social unrest? Perhaps they've concluded that it's far easier to control lots of microstates than a few superstates, and letting us all break up will make their lives easier? Who knows. But something is up, something big, and the future may well not be small communities fighting back against climate change and peak energy, but individuals rocking gently to and fro wondering what the fuck happened ...

Your main point confirms the nasty thought that dawned on me after the IPCC warning was belittled by the current occupant of the Whitehouse. That climate crisis is perceived as a feature not a bug in the strategy of the 1% who fear loss of their global dominion. News stories about submarines and missile silos converted to luxury bunkers supports my hypothesis that the wealthy think their privilege will shield them from the worst effects while radically thinning the global population in a way no military campaign could even approach. It's genocide by climate criminals who are aided by each day that business-as-usual persists.
