Global warming is hardly mentioned. The world is not going to end in part because of man's tinkering nature. Both economics and ecology thrive on an unpredictable, unplanned, evolutionary process. A system can be making itself up as it goes along. The weather is like that.
Evolution is like that.
Economies, if they aren't inert and stagnant, are like that. Economies and ecologies both depend on feedback loops. It was from Adam Smith, who put economics at the forefront of scientific inquiry in 1775, that the ecologists first explained their discoveries. Smith analyzed how prices automatically corrected maladjustments between supply and demand. He also noted the natural order of how these adjustments created self-organizing order out of diverse enterprises, each pursuing its own interest.
