I don't disagree about the climate situation. But we're also facing the end of Bretton Woods. Given that the US progressively disengaging with the 'global order', countries that don't have gas/oil will move back to coal (seems to be plentiful all over the planet) - so we're going to have a planet that cannot support the population while that population switches to a heat source that produces even more CO2 (plus sulfur dioxide and other nasties) — so even worse climate change (plus acid rain). Germany's making the switch now. So climate change plus no petro for a lot of the planet means no nitrogen fertilizer so per-acre productivity falls off a cliff. Two simultaneous global disasters. We'll be lucky to have less than 2B people die. :-(

Peter Zeihan’s written extensively about this (more about the end of Bretton than climate). I think he’s got it right. Maybe check his writing to see where I’m coming from on this. If you think he’s wrong, I’d be more than interested to hear what you think.

Agreed that the mobile interface is... handicapping is a very polite way of saying it :-)
