Dubai's not going to die. This article has some points, but they're very poorly put across. Much better articles have been written on Dubai. Dubai is the business and financial center of the Middle East, apart from all the other stuff. The point is that they build up the services sector and infrastructure before they run out of oil. Let's take this bit of the article: "It’s a holiday resort with the worst climate in the world. It boils. It’s humid. And the constant wind is full of sand." That's great and all, but what can they do about the climate? -- it's not like they chose it. Don't like the climate? Don't go to Dubai. The rest of the article is similarly vapid.
