From The Real Struggle Behind Climate Change - A War on Expertise:
"-- all the major recommended actions to deal with Global Climate Change are things we should be doing, anyway."
P.S. David Brin has also comments on the decline of civilizations and mentions Toynbee's view:
"...Arnold Toynbee, who I believe got it right. After studying dozens of past cycles, he declared that civilizations thrive when they invest faith and hope in their creative minorities. When they see the future as a destination and willingly adapt new ways to reach it.
Toynbee -- after surveying many tales of rise and fall -- concluded that cultures start to fail when those creative minorities become distrusted, or are starved of capital, or left out in the cold. Or when they are shunned by those in power."
