Globalization was first used/coined in 1930, the black death and Spanish flu predate this and both managed to spread far and wide.


Yeah, the title is a bit click-bait'ish, but there is some interesting discussion in the actual article. This person makes some good points, but I'm not sure I agree with everything he says. For example, he's calling for a world with severe restrictions on travel.


I concur with your assessment. Severe travel restrictions will hurt everyone but the rich and you can be sure he only means tourist travel, a huge contributor to pollution is cargo being shipped and flown around the world. What we need are cleaner methods of transport, not less transportation and movement.
