Interesting article regarding how the economic risks of Global Warming are being assessed. Note this is not saying the physical risks are increasing, it is that the economic impact of a consequences event are not being properly analysed. It is the classic high risk / low consequences versus low risk / high consequences event. Whether you think a high consequence event is likely to happen that Government's, Bank's, etc are failing to examine those consequences is extremely concerning.

It’s a concern crops will fail economics mostly developed from agricultural production and food markets, originally! The earth will adjust accordingly new species evolution things will change. Everything takes time the end of the world as we know it. Is that Armageddon apocalypse everyone dies/ a cataclysm ? Or is it simply a massive shift a climate change new species maybe an extinction event or just another epoch. It is the Internet Age now. We started with stone? If anything humanity just needs to slow down and let things adjust. It’ll be fine; just different

@jehova I think, should it happen, will be like the 2008 crash, but bigger and more importantly it will last decades, possibly (probably?) generations.
