Unfortunately, the solution is always:

- restrict the ability of communities and individuals to save and prepare.

- empower political elites to perform dramatic and expensive climate change mitigations, which simultaneously have no reliability based on prior successful predictive models, and enrich their powerful elite allies.

No thanks.

Several good points, but mostly a rehash of Roubini's most well-known and pretty mainstream arguments.

We certainly live in times where many of his most pessimistic predictions seem to have a decent change of coming true, which is somewhat depressing.
