Collapse

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Here I thought the main cliff of collapse would happen between 2050 and 2100, likely with the collapse of the AMOC. I would probably be dead of old age by then.

Silly me.

Worst-case is now projecting close to +3℃ by 2035, which is only a decade away. And at that temp, climate chaos and lethally high wet-bulb temps will take out half of all humanity.

Fffffffuuuuuuck.

And now America has a Science-denying clown in charge for the next half a decade, who is actively destroying democracy to engineer a permanent Republican ascendency.

Ain’t that fun.
