This shift caused global food prices to double, leading to riots in Mexico and hindering relief agencies trying to feed the poor in Africa. The segment argues that while stewardship of the earth is a shared value, poorly planned carbon reduction strategies can cause immediate human suffering.

The media narrative focusing on Google executive Wael Ghonim as the "face of the revolution" is dismissed as a myth created to highlight the power of the internet. The hosts compare the public's susceptibility to these narratives to the blind support for projects like high-speed rail in the United States.

Modern risks include rising unemployment and potential food riots. Some suggest that during periods of hyperinflation, established international banks in countries like Brazil might offer safer havens for capital than domestic institutions.
