Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Without government intrusion in the price of money, debt and other misadventures, market forces would have not allowed or even endorsed the housing bubble or the shale bubble. The mechanism of price would not be distorted and the dependence on growth by the Private and Public (both terms used loosely) sector would not be what it is today. Allow the next collapse to happen if you really feel a need to have a solution, no bail outs or bail ins.
Cog wrote:Now I can't prove this but I'm inclined to believe that the problems of peak oil and climate change will solve themselves with somewhat horrendous results in global population. IMO the consequences of peak oil will come first which will make climate change of less relevance as we won't be dumping CO2 into the environment because we have run out of fossil fuels. As billions die off due to lack of fossil fuels to keep them alive, humans will have less and less impact on the environment. The problem solves itself.
Anything else, related to transitioning to green energy, is just bargaining instead of acceptance.
My 2 cents for what it is worth.
