Unfortunately, the solution is always:<p>- restrict the ability of communities and individuals to save and prepare.<p>- 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.<p>No thanks.

Several good points, but mostly a rehash of Roubini&#x27;s most well-known and pretty mainstream arguments.<p>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.
