Haven't read the book but I don't think the idea that governments will have success asking people / companies to slow down economic growth will work. I would like to see some investigation and predictions closer to the reality of how natural disasters related to climate change will affect economics - cost of insurance, government bailouts, local tax increases to prevent such disasters, increase cost of construction due to new regulations. And how that will affect the geography of demographic changes - e.g. less people moving to the coasts? near western forests? etc.

We're working on a piece that will delve into these points. Keep an eye out for that in the near future.
