How can there be a levee paradox.
You can see the water it holds back.
More people build because there are less floods.
No idea what they are talking about with Fukushima
The Millennial Bug is a good prospect. But that's a debate in itself.
I couldn't follow their logic with Fukushima either. The wording was a little strange.
The Year 2000 scenario and covid scenarios are great examples IMO. The problem is that any great example is intrinsically going to be controversial, and that seems to be the paradox itself.

"If people didn't carry guns, there would be more violence."
"If we didn't start climate talks , climate change would be even worse."
etc...

And then because of that, when the levee breaks, more damage is done than it the levee wasn't there in the first place. The paradox is that trying to be safe can cause more harm.
