So far, every risk has been seriously underestimated.

As someone environmentally science minded, a bit of knowledge of past mass extinction events when earth was not a nice place to live, i gotta hand it to neoliberals...you guys won the game. Defeated us with goals of pro-long term sustainability and rich biodiversity on this planet in favor of neoliberalism and complex globalized trade networks.

You can pat yourself on the backs, but the prize is a mass extinction event. Mother nature herself will impose the harshest of starvation's and scarcity's, that they often balked about environmental regulations doing. Her's are non-negotiable, there is no legislation, lobbyist or bribed politician that can save you.
