With climate change coming, and only so much land usable for things like wind and solar -- which is to say, optimal for wind and solar -- yea, fights over land will be a thing. I think the DoD and CIA put out a white paper a few years back re: how they think that's gonna become more common due to climate change.

Arguably, the Arab Spring was the first in these wars, since failed harvests and grain prices are what kicked off a lot of unrest to begin with.

By the way, if you enjoyed "Arab Spring", you'll love season 2 [1] !

Or maybe there will be a remake, but with white actors [2] ?

Do you have a link to this? I'd be interested.

There are many such studies, both inside and outside the defense industry. It's one of the more common predictions of the impacts of climate change. I think the IPCC includes it in their reports, which is probably the best starting place - the IPCC's job is to integrate research into one periodic report.
