I predicted the 2008 crash – these are the global ‘megathreats’ I can see now (theguardian.com)

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.

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.
