Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy, experts warn

Recovery would be far harder than after the 2008 financial crash, they said, as "we can't bail out the Earth like we did the banks". 

As the world speeds towards 2C of global heating, the risks of extreme weather disasters and climate tipping points are increasing fast. But current economic models used by governments and financial institutions entirely miss such shocks, the researchers said, instead forecasting that steady economic growth will be slowed only by gradually rising average temperatures. This is because the models assume the future will behave like the past, despite the burning of fossil fuels pushing the climate system into uncharted territory...

Here’s How the AI Crash Happens - The Atlantic

The people who are paying attention to this cycle are getting anxious. On a scale from one to 10, the AI-bubble concern is: people posting memes of Christian Bale's character from The Big Short, squinting in disbelief at his computer monitor. If tech stocks fall because of AI companies failing to deliver on their promises, the highly leveraged hedge funds that are invested in these companies could be forced into fire sales. This could create a vicious cycle, causing the financial damage to spread to pension funds, mutual funds, insurance companies, and everyday investors. As capital flees the market, non-tech stocks will also plummet: bad news for anyone who thought to play it safe and invest in, for instance, real estate. If the damage were to knock down private-equity firms (which are invested in these data centers) themselves—which manage trillions and trillions of dollars in assets and constitute what is basically a global shadow-banking system—that could produce another major crash.

Trump repeats Fox claim that falling markets are due to fears of Bernie Sanders, not of pandemic

It has been apparent from the beginning that Donald Trump's only interest in the possibility of a worldwide COVID-19 pandemic is how it might affect the stock market. He publicly ignored it until the point at which the stock market became involved.
