In the Scramble world, no one takes control of the problem because governments and politics are local and therefore no one can agree on what to do about it. Politicians move to protect their societies and their own interests thereby causing great chaos unlike the world has never seen.

I can not imagine American politicians putting local interests first. Their loyalties are split between various crime syndicates. They would gleefully expend the rest of us trying to secure dwindling resources for their cronies.
We're running out of petroleum. Are you ready?
