The recent paper "Facing disaster: the great challenges framework" linked above is
notably more pessimistic than Prof. Bendell's widely downloaded work

"The purpose of this

PS - This post marks the inception of my blog. Contrary to initial appearances, its goal is not to adopt a pessimistic tone; instead, it aspires to maintain a grounded and realistic perspective.
