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.

I think it's more important to highlight the human cost, instead of just "life" or "Earth" or "nature". Yes, they're destroying life and Earth and nature, but people don't really care.
Instead, focus on the murder. Climate change is a genocide of the global South - human life near the tropics will be essentially impossible and billions are in eminent danger. The ones that don't die immediately are going to storm the gates of Fortress Europe and Fortress America for a chance to survive, and they'll have nothing to lose.
Climate refugees are going to define this century. When they come to your town and use your resources, everyone will care.
That's why we're militarizing the border regions.
Razor wire traps in the water are just the beginning. I give it ten years before they lay mines.
