the decline Kholt would be willing to anticipate It's not a question of being willing. It's a question of recognizing the inevitability. We can't stop hurricanes and tsunamis and we can't stop this. I also think we need to find ways to slow the dislocation- because I do not think we can take the social consequences of this, if we do not prepare for it. Which is it? Slow it? Or prepare for it? I don't see any way to slow it that wouldn't make things worse in the end. So we're left preparing for it. Right now it's up to individuals to prepare for it themselves. Some, of course, won't. So what else is new? Sort of like Katrina. People who live on low ground, don't have flood insurance, fail to evacuate are going to get hurt. But career counselors have been saying for at least a decade and a half now that we need to plan on having multiple careers over a lifetime because the world's changing too fast. Globalization compounds the need to do that but it's nothing new, nothing the folks shouldn't have started preparing for.
