The fact that the earth is even united and not completely screwed is already a great start. It was even recovering from climate change before Inaros.
The earthers are not doing that bad in the beginning that is true. But the rest of the system have it rough.
The earth is united like the United States is united. The tribes just got bigger is all. Instead of NATO vs BRICS, the Expanse universe has Earthers vs Martians vs Belters. And people are suffering hard on earth as evidenced during Bobby’s trip to the ocean.
Bobby's saw a very different earth in the books tho.
People living in UBI weren't really living a paradise but they weren't homeless hobos like in the show.
Example B of earth being shittastic is the entirety of The Churn novella
Everyone starts to come together in the last book though.
In a very... Specific way.
To be fair to Inaros he did end global warming and the overpopulation of earth.
Inaros did nothing wrong.
