Respectfully suggest that this analysis is more whistling in the dark. The very idea that human leadership has things under control overlooks multiple events in history - e.g. the Bronze Age Collapse we're still trying to explain - and suggests both amnesia and completely undue hubris. The idea also overlooks the potential for other kinds of simultaneous disaster being heaped on. (CME's for one.) We can anticipate them, but they are beyond our control - and may disable further options. There was a mass extinction of hundreds of species of megafauna just before our known history begins. Can't agree on the cause - but nonetheless the Moving Hand moved on. In the past two years, the fear and death created by one little invisible bug, which we declined to prepare for, has badly damaged economic stability. If we continue to overplay our weak hand, who will pay for the damage - and with what?
