On a workshop in Stockholm in 2017 Ramanan Laxminarayan told me that one of his bigger fears was that fungi will evolve more fatal to us with global warming.

New OA publication:

Triple Bottom Line or Trilemma? Global Tradeoffs Between Prosperity, Inequality, and the Environment

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.worlddev.2024.106595
