When Nature goes bankrupt

The willingness to mine the resilient core is like Milliken's bond market being willing to price into the debt instrument the likelihood of bankruptcy. 
The problem is that when Nature goes bankrupt the cost to human society is catastrophic. 
The problem is the world is not pricing into the production function the possibility of nature's bankruptcy at anything like the cost it would inflict on human society.
